Blue Lake is a stringless variety found at farmers' markets and specialty foods stores. Others work well, too, as long as they're fresh and tender. Ingredients:
2 pounds blue lake green beans |
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme |
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. Cook beans in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water; pat dry. DO AHEAD Can be made 4 hours ahead. Layer between paper towels and refrigerate.
2. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans, thyme, and peel; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until heated, about 5 minutes.
