Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2-2 lbs fresh green beans (about 1 inch long)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare green beans by snapping them or cutting them to approx 1 inch in length and rinsing them.
  • Over a pot of boiling water, steam beans for 15-20 minutes (until just tender with a little"bite" to them; Also, to steam I use a covered colander over a Dutch oven filled 1/4th full with water) Remove steamed beans and turn into a serving bowl.
