One of our favorite sides was influenced by Food Network's recipe,
Green Beans with Magic Sauce. Chef Maggie would often make this for her own family, so she created a her own version to share with the F&F community.The sauce completely makes the entire dish, and the Aleppo pepper gives it the perfect hint of heat.
We love this recipe and think you will too - find the full recipe below!
