Frozen Green Bean Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by melting butter in a saucepan and cooking thinly sliced purple onions until they soften, roughly three minutes. Then frozen green beans, water, salt, and black pepper are added to the pan. The mixture is brought to a simmer and cooked uncovered for about eight minutes, allowing the water to mostly evaporate and the green beans to become tender.
This method steams the green beans gently while infusing them with the flavor of butter and softened onions. The seasoning is minimal to highlight the green beans' fresh taste and maintain a clean, simple side dish that complements a variety of main courses.
Ingredients
- 2 tabelspoon butter
- ½ cup purple onion sliced thin
- 12 ounces green beans frozen, 1 small bag
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt butter in the saucepan.
- Add onions and cook for 3 minutes, or until they start to soften.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 8 minutes, or until most of the liquid is gone from the pan.
