Lemon Sumac Green Beans

Sumac is a popular Israeli spice that is dark red and imparts a lemony flavor. Once you start using it you won't stop.

GET THE RECIPE

Green beans are so much more vibrant when paired with tangy sumac and lemon. Skip the whole boiling water routine and just sauté the beans in evoo with a sprinkling of garlic.

For best results, use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
