INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the beans and snap off the tips. Fill a large pan with water and
bring to a boil. Add beans, let water return to a boil, and cook beans
for 1 minute. Drain beans in a colander, pouring cold water over them
until cool. Set aside in colander, allowing them to dry. Make the
dressing: Pour lemon juice into a large mixing bowl. Crush garlic
clove, add to bowl. With the back of a wooden spoon, press garlic into
lemon juice to release its oil, then discard. Add sea salt and chile
pepper, and stir with a whisk. Add olive oil in a thin stream,
stirring with the whisk until the dressing emulsifies, then stir in
chopped mint and parsley. Add the beans, and toss them with the
vinaigrette until well coated. Allow beans to marinate for about an
hour before serving at room temperature. Source: Shepherd's Garden

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
