Blistered Green Beans with Spicy Aioli

Ingredients

Spicy Aioli:
• 1 large egg yolk*
• 1 clove garlic, grated or pressed
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tsp water
• 1/3 cup avocado or olive oil
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 or 2 dashes hot sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
Blistered Green Beans:
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 lb green beans, washed, trimmed and dried
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Spicy Aioli:
1. In a blender or food processor, combine egg yolk, garlic, kosher salt and water. Pulse to combine. With blender or processor running, drizzle oil in very slowly until mixture begins to thicken.
2. Turn off blender or processor and add lemon juice, hot sauce and additional salt and pepper. Blend just a little bit more, until well combined. Aioli should be like a thick sauce, but not like mayonnaise.
3. Pour into a serving dish and set aside.
Green Beans:
4. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat until hot. Add coconut oil and let melt. Add green beans and cook 2 to 3 minutes, tossing every so often, until tender and blistered. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with aioli as dipping sauce or poured over top.
