Braised Green Beans With Lemon image

I made this recipe for Dîner en Blanc, because it is great served cold or hot. The veggies are layered in a Dutch oven and cooked without stirring until the beans are soft and tender.

Time 1h

Yield 4 side dish, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 lb green beans (3 cups cleaned)
2 cups onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup parsley, minced
1/4 cup dill, minced
1/4 cup mint, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
1/8-1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • Wash the beans, break off both ends, and break them in half.
  • Mix the herbs and garlic together.
  • In a Dutch oven, layer 1 cup of onions on the bottom of the pan, top with beans, then herb mix, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and drizzle with 1/2 of the olive oil.
  • Finish with the remaining cup of onions before drizzling with the last 1/2 of olive oil.
  • Cover and cook over medium high heat until the pan lid is hot. As soon as the lid is hot, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1/2 hour, or until the beans are very soft and tender.
  • Stir in 1/8 cup lemon juice.
  • Taste and add more lemon juice, salt, or freshly ground black pepper, as needed.

I would not recommend this recipe. The green beans were tough and the sauce was flavorless.

The green beans were overcooked and the sauce was too thin.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would add more garlic and lemon next time.

These green beans were a bit too lemony for my taste, but they were still good.
