This is a wonderful side dish- though is best in the summer when you can get fresh greens. And when I say fresh dill, I mean fresh dill- don't use dried or I'll find you!
Dilly Beans
1 1/2 cups water
2 cups stemmed green beans
2 Tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
2 large cloves of garlic, pressed
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste (I used 1/8 t.)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
Bring the water to a full boil and blanch the green beans for three minutes. Drain the beans and stir in the dill (use a glass or ceramic bowl so the vinegar doesn't make everything taste funny).
Combine the garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar,and honey and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Pour over beans. Let the beans "rest" for 20 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
