    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash and trim the green beans. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

    2

    In a dry skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.

    3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Add one tablespoon of water and mix until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.

    4

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the blanched green beans for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned and slightly blistered.

    5

    Before serving, drizzle the sautéed green beans with the tahini sauce and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
