Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 lb green beans (washed and trimmed)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup panko (gluten-free if needed)
  • ¼ cup mint (thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon ume plum vinegar (sub sea salt to taste)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the beans on the baking sheet and toss them with the oil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until they have just started to soften.
  • While the beans are roasting, prepare the panko. Heat the butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until it is very frothy. Once the froth begins to settle down remove the pan from the heat and, using a spoon, remove the froth and discard it. Place the pan back on the heat until the bits in the bottom are nicely browned. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the panko.
  • In a large bowl mix, the dressing ingredients. When the beans are slightly tender but still have a bit of crunch remove them from the oven and put them in the bowl with the dressing. Add the panko, mint, and sumac and toss everything together well.
  • Serve immediately with a little extra sumac sprinkled over top.
