BOILED GREEN BEANS

Really more of a technique than a recipe. This is so simple I am kinda embarrassed to post it. My mom worked in a fancy restaurant and this how they prepared their "gourmet" green beans :)

Ingredients

2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans green beans
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

Pour both cans of beans liquid and all in a pot.
Add 1 Tbs. of oil for each can of beans you use.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Boil at a hard boil till all the liquid has evaporated and serve.
This recipe works the same for one can of green beans or ten! This recipe/technique gets the waxiness and squeaky taste out of canned green beans and makes them taste more homemade.
