CRISPY GREEN BEANS
We were searching for a vegetarian alternative to small fried fish that we ate at the seaside some moons ago, and with green beans in season and our local grocer having a bountiful supply at present, we put two and two together and came up with this 10 of 10 a snack / side dish.
Super quick and easy, this really works. You can season with whatever you choose - we went simple with garlic powder and a hint of cayenne - and then served with a good squeeze of lemon and Niko’s delicious and healthy Tzatziki recipe!
