When I was in college I lived at one point in a townhouse with a kitchen. Soon I started experimenting, watching cooking shows... and making a mess. Being a mostly broke college kid, if it was even vaguely edible, I ate it. This recipe is the result of a happy accident.
Warning: it is not diet food, and would get any culinary student summarily expelled.
1 pound fresh green beans, haricots verts, or chinese longbeans cut to 4-5" long
1/2 a head of garlic, chopped as fine as a n00b homecook can chop
kosher salt
olive oil
1 packet Sazon Goya
1 40 oz bottle of malt liquor of your choice
1) put up a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
2) Add your washed green beans and allow to cook until they are techno-color green.
2.5) Drink malt liquor.
3) Drain and use the same pot (you only own one freaking pot) to sautee your garlic in way more olive oil than you really need. Crank the heat to high and take a phone call from that girl Kendra. The one who you will later find out used to snort No Doze.
4) come back to garlic that is brown (but not black) and crispy.
5) PANIC
6) Throw in your still-wet green beans and hop back as the oil spits. Turn down the heat and stir everything together with a wooden spoon until the green beans get a wrinkly skin.
7) Remove from heat and pour everything into a big plate (or a platter if you arent a college student).
8) Sprinkle Sazon Goya over the whole thing.
I am now 32 years old and have pulled off pate, brazed oxtail and quiche. What do I still make about once ever 3 months with a roast chicken and rice? These green beans.
