STEAMED FRESH GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON BUTTER
Steps:
- You will need a vegetable steamer or a pan or appliance adaptable to steaming. I use an electric wok that has a steaming ring that rests above the water level. Put enough water in the pan, etc., so the water will not touch the beans when it boils. With the steamer in the pan, bring the water to a boil. Place the green beans on the steamer above the water. Cover the pan and steam the beans until crunchy tender. Cooking time will vary. Young beans will steam-cook faster than older, mature green beans, which may take up to 20 minutes. Occasionally taste-test one for doneness. They should be slightly crunchy, not limp. Don't overcook. Meanwhile, as beans are steaming, finely grate the rind from the lemon and set aside. Then squeeze the juice from the lemon and set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, being careful not to let it burn. Add the grated lemon rind and heat briefly. Then stir in lemon juice to taste and remove from heat. When the beans are done, remove them from the steamer and place in a large bowl. Pour the lemon butter over the hot beans and toss till coated. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed. Place in serving dish.
