When I was a young girl, my mom taught me how to can green beans. After I got married, I planted a garden and continued to can green beans for my family. I’m surprised, though, that I never really thought of fixing fresh green beans. But a few years ago, I tried it and was amazed that I had found another easy and healthy dish to feed my family. Watch this simple instruction video and then check out the recipe below to see just how easily you can create this delicious side dish.
FRESH GREEN BEANS
Snip and wash beans.
Place in frying pan.
Add 1/4 inch water.
Cover and boil about 5 minutes, checking a few times to make sure there is still some water in the pan.
Remove lid and stir a few minutes until water has evaporated.
Turn down heat a little and add butter, onions, and garlic, to taste.
Stir and cook for another five minutes.
Add some salt for flavor.
Enjoy!
