Chinese Peppered Green Beans

SUBMITTED BY: HEIDI WRIGHTSMAN

"Bright, crisp and spicy with crushed green peppercorns, fresh red chile pepper and garlic, these green beans will add lots of flavor and color to your meal. If you can't find Chinese yardlong or 'snake' beans, then regular green beans will do just fine."
