How to cook green beans on PP
Dietary green bean dishes are prepared differently from regular recipes. First of all, you must know the basic rules:
- frying this product in large amounts of vegetable oil is strictly prohibited. Did you know that vegetables absorb about 30% of the oil used? Did you know that one spoon of vegetable oil contains about 120 calories? If you want to fry the beans a little, it is best to do this in a non-stick frying pan and use no more than one spoon of vegetable oil.
- The best way to cook green bean dishes is to stew them with other vegetables, cook them in a slow cooker without using oil, or simply boil them. The latter option is great for preparing delicious pp salads.
- Meat recipes using this ingredient should be prepared exclusively from lean meats. Chicken fillet, turkey or veal are perfect. You can prepare very dietary versions of stews with green beans and soups.
- If you are looking for a side dish for a green bean recipe, then we choose only healthy and dietary ones. Fried potatoes are definitely not an option, but brown rice, bulgur or quinoa work well.
- Do not season your dishes with ready-made high-calorie sauces and dressings. For example, it is absolutely forbidden to season a salad with mayonnaise, just like adding ready-made sauce to stewed green beans. These sauces and add-ins are very high in calories and contain a lot of empty calories that you definitely don't need.

Green beans recipes: original soup in a slow cooker
Asparagus bean soup is a rare guest in our kitchen. But this recipe is considered one of the simplest, most delicious and healthy. And the dish is prepared quickly and simply, which is what captivates many housewives.
What you will need
- Green beans – 300 grams;
- any meat – 300 grams;
- potatoes - 5 pieces;
- onion;
- sweet bell pepper;
- carrot;
- salt;
- favorite spices.
If you use meat that has already been boiled in advance, the cooking process will be several times faster and easier.
How to cook
Place the meat in the multicooker bowl and turn on the “Soup” mode, setting the time to 120 minutes.
Chop the onion.
Cut the carrots into strips.
Cut the pepper into cubes.
Cut the potatoes into cubes.
Crush the garlic.
Place all the vegetables to cook on the stove in a separate pan. Add them to the multicooker bowl 20 minutes after the meat starts boiling.
Wash the green beans, cut them and simmer in a frying pan for 15 minutes. Transfer the finished beans to the slow cooker 10 minutes before the end of cooking. Add salt to the soup and let it cook. When serving, garnish with fresh herbs.
Frozen green bean dish
It is very convenient to keep frozen green beans at home to quickly and easily prepare lunch or dinner. This dish is incredibly simple to prepare and goes well with boiled chicken or turkey. We will prepare the following products:
- 1 package frozen beans. Some people defrost this product in advance by placing it in the refrigerator overnight. You can also quickly pour boiling water over it just before cooking. We'll just boil the beans in salted water for 5 minutes.
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- spices to taste
As you can see, we will use a minimum of vegetable oil, for this we will pre-boil the beans. If you fry it in a frying pan while frozen, you will use a lot more vegetable oil, and these are extra calories that we don’t need.
Fry the garlic in a frying pan for a couple of minutes and remove it. We need it solely for aroma. Place the boiled beans in the frying pan. Fry for 4 minutes over medium heat. Then add your favorite spices and cook for another 2 minutes.
