2 oz Green beans
🥄
¹⁄₁₆ tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
¼ tbsp Olive oil
⅛ lb Brussels sprouts
🥄
⅛ dash Salt
🥄
½ tbsp Water
⅛ tsp Spearmint

Directions

Prep 20 minCook 20 min

1
Trim the green beans and slice the Brussels sprouts lengthwise into 1/4-inch pieces.
2
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain well.
3
Heat the olive oil and red pepper flakes in a large heavy skillet over medium-high until the oil shimmers. Add the Brussels sprouts, season lightly with salt, and sauté until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
4
Add the blanched green beans and cook, tossing, for 2 minutes. Pour in the water and cook at a brisk boil until it evaporates and the vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the dried mint, and adjust seasoning with salt to taste.
