Chef Jeff shows you how to make delicious sweet and spicy green beans

Chef Jeff is in the East Idaho News kitchen showing you how to make a spicy and sweet twist on classic French green beans with buffalo sauce and honey.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. green beans, ends trimmed
• 3 tbsp. butter
• 1 tbsp. minced garlic
• ¼ tsp. kosher salt
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• 3 tbsp. hot sauce (I like to use Frank’s)
• 3 tbsp. honey
• ¼ c. sliced almonds for garnish (optional)

Directions

• Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a couple of tablespoons of kosher salt. Stir to dissolve the salt and add the green beans. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes and then drain and cool under running cold water. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add the garlic and cook only about 30 seconds, stirring. Add the hot sauce, honey, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the green beans. Stir and cook 3-5 minutes to warm and slightly brown the beans. Move to a serving dish and top with the almonds. Serve.
