Simply Spiced String/ Green Beans

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs fresh string beans
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

• Wash and trim the string beans
• I usually start out with more string beans than the 3 pounds called for in the recipe since I eat a lot raw and not all of them make it into the pot
• Combine with all the other ingredients in a 3 quart pot and mix
• Cook covered on a small flame for 30 minutes
• Drain
• Serve warm or chilled
