Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season heavily with salt. It should taste like the ocean.
- Next, add the trimmed green beans and boil for 4 to 6 minutes until al dente or slightly crunchy.
- Immediately remove them from the pot and strain them. Set them aside.
- In a large saute pan over low heat, add in the butter and coat the bottom of the pan by constantly swirling it in a circular motion. Be sure the pan is not too hot, you simply want to melt the butter not cook it.
- Add the green beans to the butter, season with salt and pepper, and fold the green beans into the butter until they are coated on all sides. Serve
Notes
- These green beans will be al dente or slightly crunchy when finished.
- If you want your green beans a little more done, boil them for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as they are done cooking. You can keep them warm in the pan for up to 15 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Green beans will keep in the refrigerator covered in plastic for up to 3 days. These don't freeze all that well after being cooked because they lose a lot of moisture. If you decide to freeze cooked green beans, it is best to thaw and use them in a soup.
- How to Reheat: Add the green beans with a small amount of chicken stock or water and 1 tablespoon of butter to a pan. Cook over medium heat until the green beans are warm.
