A bowl of burkina faso french green beans with onions and bright red chilies

This Burkina Faso French  green beans recipe makes a  lovely side dish and cooks up in a jiffy.   The onions combined with the French beans adds great flavor along with a chopped hot chili.  It is also seasoned with a little ginger and garlic.

Serve Burkina Faso French green beans as a side for any meal, but we really enjoyed it with the chicken thighs and mashed sweet potatoes for a perfect Burkinabe meal.
