FRIED GREEN BEANS !!!!


 
Yup this is what happens when it gets to 122 degrees in Riverside California. Fried green beans . Literally.  Two of my plants made it through so I still have hope. That's the great thing about gardening. It somehow helps to explain life in general. 
  

  122 degrees during the fruiting time is not good. I am picking most of my burned peppers to cut off the good parts. Very sad indeed.  but we hold out hope because most of my plants made it through. A bit scorched but still alive.

Thankfully they were already on their last leg.  I have already harvested approx 10 pounds of beans.  I will be planting some of the beans I have already harvested and dried for a second planting. In the past  I have been able to grow green beans year round. We will see what happens this year.

  below is my favorite green bean recipe this year.  Due to my zucchini hoard I am adding sliced mushrooms and zucchini to the recipe during the frying process. I use Neely family recipes often. They use fresh produce in most of them and I think that is  just great !!!!

Ingredients



Directions

Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of well salted boiling water until bright green in color and tender crisp, roughly 2 minutes. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the butter. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and continue to saute until coated in the butter and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
