Ingredients

  • ½ lb fresh green beans any variety (yellow wax beans and haricot verts are lovely!)
  • 4 ears fresh corn shucked
  • 5 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted is fine
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup various fresh herbs finely chopped, such as basil, chives, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, chervil, marjoram and parsley

Notes

  • This is a very forgiving recipe. You can easily up the amount of corn or green beans as you wish, and adjust the amount of butter to your taste. You can add one fresh herb, or all of the ones listed. More herb variety will give you the best flavor, but it will still be good with even just one.
