Oven Grilled Grouper Steaks with Yard-Long String Beans

Published on April 7, 2015 | By |

Grouper is a very low-fat, firm white fish. Its wonderful mildness matches perfectly with the distinctly delicate flavor of Yard-Long string beans.

Cousins to the black-eyed peas, these string beans are very similar to common green beans, but have a sharper and crunchier texture. They also contain very high levels of vitamins A and C as well as a very good source of Folates.

Enjoy!
