Easy Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Place green beans, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper into a resealable plastic bag; marinate for 10 minutes.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Spread green beans into a shallow baking pan; place under the broiler and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket insert into a large saucepan and fill with water to a level just below the steamer. Bring to a boil. Add green beans, and steam to your desired degree of tenderness, or about 5 minutes.
• Once the beans have cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl. Toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, white wine vinegar, and Parmesan cheese. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove garlic slices and garnish with parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Place beans and water in a large skillet. Bring to a boil; cook covered until beans are crisp tender, 4-6 minutes. Drain., In now empty skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add beans; cook and stir until beans are tender, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Put beans in a steamer & bring water to a boil, then steam 8 to 10 minutes or until just crisp tender.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the rest of the ingredients until butter is melted.
• Put beans in a serving bowl & drizzle them with the butter mixture, tossing to coat.

Steps:

• Steam or boil green beans until just underdone to your liking (I make mine crisp-tender).
• In a medium skillet, heat bacon fat over medium high heat.
• You only want the fat to coat the bottom of the pan, the beans should not be swimming in it.
• Add beans and saute, stirring to coat with bacon fat, about 2 minutes, until beans start to sizzle.
• Sprinkle with sugar and stir to coat, about 1 minute.
• Lower heat and add mustard and worcestershire sauce, stirring well, and saute for another 2 minutes or so.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Can be made earlier in the day. Snip off the tops, but not the curly tails (they look better rustic-style), from the green beans. Boil in salted water for 3 mins until just tender. Get a bowl of iced water ready. Drain the beans and plunge into the water for 3 mins, then drain well and tip out onto a plate. Finely chop the shallot, scatter over the beans and sprinkle with some vinaigrette. Set aside to cool.
