Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 cup hot pepper or jalapeño jelly; 1/2 lemon

I love a quick fix using minimal ingredients. When I do this, I have to choose items that pack a flavor punch. Hot pepper or jalapeño jelly is sweet and just spicy enough to give the green beans a nice kick along with a spritz of lemon. I serve this dish for holidays in spring and fall as well as for a quick side to a dinner with chicken, chops or even steak.

olive oil

green beans,

salt and black pepper

hot pepper or jalapeño jelly

lemon

Blister the green beans: Heat the oil in a large pan over high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the green beans. Allow to blister and sear on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then toss to blister some more. Add a pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of pepper.

Finish: Add the hot pepper or jalapeño jelly and let it melt into the pan. Add a spritz of lemon. Toss and serve.

I made a single serving of this recipe, because I cook for only one. But I will look for an opportunity to make it for even my vegan friends, as it’s now my favorite green bean preparation! Nicely done Sunny!

These green beans will be on the dinner table at least once every week! Fabulous flavor and the beans get cooked to perfection! I used Stonewall Kitchen's Hot Pepper Peach Jam. Thank you, Sunny, for a quick side that is the star of every meal!

Make sure your beans are BONE DRY!!  Ooops Rookie mistake, but just be safe.  These are delicious!!! Will definitely be served over and over again!!! 

Really good and quick  to make and serve!

Such a simple yet flavorful side dish! I added a couple smashed cloves of garlic and sauteed them in the oil on med-low for a couple mins just to infuse the oil a bit (cooked slightly, but not browned), then turned off the heat + let the garlic sit in the oil for 15-20 mins before removing it, mincing it and setting it aside until adding it back in after the beans were cooked. I'm planning on keeping green beans on hand so I can whip this up anytime I'm feeling lazy or don't know what to cook!

These are so delicious and absolutely easy to make! I find myself craving them now. I watch The Kitchen all the time! What a great show please never cancel it. Thank you Sunny for this great recipe! 

These were surprisingly good!  I wasn't sure about the combination at all but I trust Sunny.  We all loved them and will definitely make them again.  They're a nice change from "regular" green beans.

I have a hard time getting my husband to eat green beans. He said he’d eat green beans like that anytime! 

I’m a bit og a spice wimp, so when i whipped these up, inreduced the amount of red pepper jelly.<br />Very fresh and fast to prepare
