Steps:
- In a large saucepan bring 1 inch water to boiling. Place green beans on a steamer rack and set the rack in the pan. Cover and steam 7 minutes or until green beans are tender. Immediately transfer green beans to a bowl of ice water then drain.
- Meanwhile, for the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, zest, dill, oil and mustard.
- Place green beans in a large serving bowl. Add dressing, toss lightly to coat.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the beans before cooking: Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that may be present. This will help the beans cook evenly.
- Cook the beans until they are tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the beans, or they will become mushy. Cook them just until they are tender when pierced with a fork, but still have a slight crunch.
- Use fresh herbs and lemon zest: These ingredients will add a bright, flavorful taste to the beans. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use only about half the amount.
- Serve the beans warm or at room temperature: These beans are best enjoyed when they are still warm from cooking, but they can also be served at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Lemon Dill Green Beans is a simple, yet flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. The beans are tender-crisp and coated in a tangy, lemony sauce with hints of dill. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
