recipe from vernon’s bbq
2 quarts fresh green beans, stemmed and rinsed
2 T. toasted sesame oil
3-5 t. kosher salt
3-5 t. ground black pepper
4 T. tequila
3-4 fresh limes
>> In a wok or large saute pan, heat sesame oil until it begins to smoke.
>> Add green beans to pan. Sprinkle with an even amount of salt and pepper and toss.
>> Keeping beans evenly spread on cooking surface, cook on high heat until char marks begin to appear. Spoon tequila over beans and toss. (By keeping the heat high, the alcohol will burn off, leaving behind the flavor of tequila).
>> Remove from heat. Squeeze 3 or 4 fresh limes over greens beans. Toss and serve.
