Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans (, cleaned and ends trimmed)
  • ½ medium red onion (, thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons fig balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt (, or to taste)
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • 4 oz goat cheese (, or to taste)


Method

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the green beans, and cook the green beans until crisp-tender, or however you prefer to eat them. (It takes about 5 minutes to cook the beans to crisp-tender.) When the beans are cooked, carefully drain the water and rinse the beans under cold water in a colander until they are no longer hot.  
  2. Toast the sliced almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until they just start to brown. Set aside. 
  3. Combine the balsamic glaze and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and whisk together until combined. 
  4. In a large pan or a wok, saute the red onion in olive oil for 5 minutes, or until the onion has softened. Add salt and stir. 
  5. Add the balsamic glaze mixture and the dried cranberries and let them cook together for a minute. Add the green beans and gently toss them in the wok to coat them in the balsamic glaze. Remove from heat.  
  6. Serve with toasted almonds and crumbled goat cheese.
