Ingredients

Green Beans

  • 1.5 lb Green beans Trimmed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • Salt To taste

Pomegranate Tahini Sauce

  • 3 tbsp Tahini
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced or crushed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice (Or juice of 1 lemon.)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate arils

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your trimmed green beans and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until just tender. Then drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process. Drain once cool.
  • While waiting for the water to boil, add all of the pomegranate tahini sauce ingredients (tahini, minced garlic, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and lemon juice) to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set to the side.
  • Add 2 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet and set to medium heat. When hot, add 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until fragrant (about a minute), then add green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Toss with the pomegranate tahini sauce and transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Then top with the pomegranate arils and enjoy!
