Green Beans with Toasted Almond Flakes and Coconut Chip
Simple, delicious, the perfect side dish. Green beans are ideal for serving alongside your favourite mains, from a classic roast to a Thai curry. This dish has been inspired by the flavours of Hawaii, so we recommend serving this dish alongside our Kalua pork recipe.
