Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Fruit
- 2 cups Green Beans, trimmed
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into triangles
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
Oils & Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil. In a large frying pan or wok, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Sauté the garlic. Add the minced clove of garlic to the pan and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant and golden, taking care not to burn it.
- Add the green beans and bell peppers. Toss in 2 cups of green beans, 1 sliced green bell pepper, and 1 sliced yellow bell pepper. Stir-fry these vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and to maintain a crisp-tender texture.
- Incorporate the pineapple. Add the pineapple triangles to the pan and continue stir-frying everything together for an additional 10 minutes. Cook until the vegetables reach your desired tenderness and the pineapple pieces begin to caramelize and brown slightly.
- Serve and enjoy. Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and present it as a flavorful side dish or a light, refreshing meal. Enjoy the perfect harmony of sweet pineapple and savory vegetables.
Notes
- You can adjust cooking time based on how crisp or tender you prefer your vegetables.
- For extra zest, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of chili flakes during the stir-fry.
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor; canned pineapple may add unwanted moisture.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed rice or noodles to create a complete meal.
