String Beans and Red peppers





Stringbeans & Red Peppers
Stringbeans and red peppers will be gracing the pallet as a light evening meal.  The stringbeans slightly boiled and then lightly sauteed in olive oil. Red peppers as well sauteed in olive oil add a zest of natural sweetness to this glistening dish.  Both vegetables afford our body loads of nutrients such as vitamins A & C beneficial to our immune system. Protein is packed mostly in the pods of the bean…I love the slight crunch of the pod…“Crunch”..let the proteins flow! Soluble fiber great for our blood chemistry. Minerals such as potassium, calcium and iron…all necessary for bone density, blood health and muscle maintenance.  Who thought these lean green beans packed such a nutritional punch?!  Proudly standing alongside these legumes are red peppers. Not to be out shined by their green bean partner red peppers bring an additional set of nutrients such as Omega 3 & Omega 6.  Important for keeping the heart beating right.  So do enjoy this double dose of nutritional excitement!!
