Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh green beans, with the ends snapped off (uncut) |
1 pinch salt |
4 quarts water |
1 -2 tablespoon baking soda |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. Bring water to boil and add salt.
2. Drop beans in slowly so that the water continues to boil.
3. When all beans are in the pot, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
4. Keep a close eye on the pot as soda will cause it to boil up and over, which means you might have to reduce the heat a bit.
5. Scum will gather on the top of the water, and this must be scooped off with a spoon.
6. Continue skimming and stirring until the beans are done, which should take about 8 to 12 minutes.
7. Drain and serve.
