Categories     Beans

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

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
kosher salt
pepper

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.
  • Add all of the rest of the ingredients, seasoning to taste.
  • Enjoy!

These green beans were a bit too crunchy for my liking. I think I'll steam them for a few minutes longer next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my green beans came out overcooked. I think I'll try steaming them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These green beans were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some garlic and lemon next time.

I've tried steaming green beans before, but they always turned out mushy. This recipe was different! The beans were still slightly crunchy and had a great flavor.
