Simple 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:

• Prepare green beans by snapping them or cutting them to approx 1 inch in length and rinsing them.
• Over a pot of boiling water, steam beans for 15-20 minutes (until just tender with a little"bite" to them; Also, to steam I use a covered colander over a Dutch oven filled 1/4th full with water) Remove steamed beans and turn into a serving bowl.
• Add all of the rest of the ingredients, seasoning to taste.
• Enjoy!

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.

Steps:

• Steam the green beans.
• Saute bacon and crumble it to make bits (or you can chop the bacon small before cooking; it doesn't matter).
• Drain most of the fat out of the bacon pan, then saute the onion until almost soft. Add sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Once fully liquified, pour over steamed beans, top with bacon bits and toss!
