Very simple recipie that is attractive and tasty. I say to steam the beans & celery for 10 minutes and add the peppers/onions for last 5 minutes - This leaves the vegetables still quite crisp. If you like your veggies well done double the time. Ingredients:
1 lb green beans, ends nipped and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces |
2 stalks celery, cleaned, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 medium sweet onion, chopped |
1/2 cup sweet red pepper, chopped 1/2-inch pieces |
salt & pepper |
2 tablespoons butter (optional) or 2 tablespoons margarine (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring 3/4 of water in the bottom of a double boiler to a boil.
2. Add the beans, celery & oregano to the top of the double boiler, cover & steam for 10 Minutes.
3. Add onions & red pepper continue steaming for a further 5 minutes.
4. Season with salt & pepper.
5. Toss with butter if using.
