Superbly simple, this recipe has two ingredients: fresh green beans and butter.
Ingredients
1 pound fresh green beans
3 tablespoons butter (or substitute an oil of your choice)
Directions
Rinse beans and remove stems. Keep whole or cut to desired lengths. Melt butter in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add beans – watch out, they may spit water when added to the pan. Sauté until cooked to your preference, stirring frequently. I cook mine until brown spots appear and the beans are slightly limp.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately while hot.
