Courtesy of Jen D. over at Butter and Sage, we have a great recipe for spicy Yellow Wax Beans!

Here’s what you need to get started, you’ll have to cruise over to her blog for the rest:

I receive a CSA box every other week and find I am sometimes scrambling to use up all my great vegetables before they go bad.  This week was a giant bag of yellow wax beans.  How are these different than green string beans you might ask?  Well, they aren’t much different but to my taste they have a little more starchy taste as well as missing some of that “green” taste we are all used to.  To compensate for slightly less flavor, I introduce my favorite condiment of all time: Crushed Red Peppers!  Yes, these are the same peppers you ask for at the pizza parlour to spice up your pie.

2 cups cleaned yellow wax beans
1 clove garlic peeled & smashed
juice from 1/2 a lemon (less if lemon is rather large)
10g olive oil*
S&P to taste
