Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic and Herbs

Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Vegetables

Delicious green beans.

"My husband and I really loved this dish. I added a yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced, to the green beens. It added both flavor and color. Next time I will cut down a bit on the thyme, or perhaps add dill instead. This recipe is very adaptable to personal taste and will be a staple at our table! Loved it!"

Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic and Herbs Preparation

Combine butter, garlic and thyme in a small bowl and set aside. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until just smoking.

Add beans, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until spotty brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add water, cover andcook until beans are bright green and crisp, about 2 minutes.

Remove cover, increase heat to high and cook until water evaporates, 30-60 seconds. Add butter mixture and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until beans are crisp-tender, lightly browned and beginning to wrinkle, 1-3 minutes longer.

Transfer beans to a serving bowl, toss with lemon juice and parsley; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately.

Very tasty! I added a little more line juice and chopped red pepper to make it a bit sour and spicy. Yum!
