After seeing this charring technique in Cooking Light it has become my go to for green beans. I love the way they wilt, but still retain some crunch, I also love the slight smokey flavor they hold on to. In this recipe that flavor is enhanced with my hairssa and topped with crunchy almonds. A perfect side dish hot or cold.
