Saffron Yellow Beans

1 pound yellow string beans
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon saffron
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 green chili, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
water

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and steam string beans until crisp-tender. Rinse under cold water to prevent further cooking.
2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and saffron and fry until the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the coconut milk, chicken broth and chili to the sauce. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until thick and yellow.
4. Toss beans with the prepared sauce. Garnish with cilantro to serve.
