Maple Flavoured Green Beans

February 10, 2017 by Ariel Leave a Comment

There’s been quit a bit of movements on my Instagram story lately.  Today’s #FoodieExperiment was the “Breakfast Poutine” but beside my idea being pretty good, a lot of refinement will be needed before making it a “blog post worthy” recipe.

These maple flavoured green beans is another recipe I’ve shared today and I decided to post it right away because it really is my favourite way to eat green beans.  Seriously… is there anything maple syrup cants do?!!

*^_^*

The inspiration came from the amazing ones I ate, a while back, at the sugar shack “Au Pied de Cochon”.  Instead of almonds, I used grilled, shelled, raw pumpkin seeds and added a few coarse pieces of maldon salt on top for a slight crunch and clash of taste.  Hope you enjoy this quick side dish that goes perfectly with a nicely grilled red meat or even just like that on basmati rice.
