Sauteed Radishes and Green Beans is a delightful and unexpected side dish that combines the crisp, slightly peppery flavor of radishes with the tender, sweet taste of green beans. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for those looking to add a fresh and unique twist to their vegetable repertoire.
Place a large skillet on the stove and set the heat to medium-high. Allow the skillet to heat up for a minute or two.
Add the tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the melted butter.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, carefully add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the beans to coat them with the butter. Cook the beans for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender and bright green.
Add the thinly sliced radishes to the skillet with the green beans. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the radishes are tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the sautéed green beans and radishes. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the vegetables.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the sautéed vegetables. Give the dish a final stir to incorporate the nuts.
Transfer the sautéed radishes and green beans to a serving dish. Serve the vegetables hot as a delicious and unique side dish alongside your favorite main course.
