Notes
- * If you like your green beans a little softer instead of al dente, but don’t want them to brown in the pan, one of my favorite tricks is to add an ice cube to the center of the frying pan for the last minute of cooking. The ice cube will create steam, so put a lid on it and let them finish cooking. It’s the best of both worlds, sautéing and steaming!
