A simple and tasty side dish when fresh green beans are plentiful. Prep time doesn't include time to prep the beans before steaming. Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Prepare green beans by snapping them or cutting them to approx 1 inch in length and rinsing them.
2. 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.
3. Add all of the rest of the ingredients, seasoning to taste.
4. Enjoy!
