LEMON BUTTER GREEN BEANS



Lemon Butter Green Beans image

You deserve more than plain and boring vegetables! These lemon butter green beans add a bit of jazz to a classic side dish. The zesty lemon slices pair perfectly with fresh and crisp green beans in this simple but tasty dish.

Provided by Julia Frey of The Veg Connection

Categories     Side dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ lbs green beans washed and trimmed
2-3 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic
1.5 lemons
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Trim the ends off the green beans and wash them well. Parboil for 4-5 minutes.
  • Heat a frying pan over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon along with a few lemon slices and the remaining butter.
  • Drain the green beans and plunge them immediately in ice water. This will preserve the colour. Add them to the frying pan with the lemon butter and garlic sauce and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes until they are the desired doneness. This will take approximately 5 minutes for beans with a slight bite to them, while cooking longer will produce softer beans. Serve immediately.

LEMONY GREEN BEANS

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound thin green beans
2 tablespoons butter
Freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Snap off the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
  • Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony-yellow to golden-tan to, finally, a toasty-brown.
  • Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add some lemon juice and salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON-HERB BUTTER



Green Beans With Lemon-Herb Butter image

This is a super quick recipe that uses fresh French green beans but would work equally well with frozen. The recipe was printed in Betty Crocker Thansgiving booklet, November 2005. The recipe calls for butter. Please do not sub margarine! The original recipe called for dried marjoram leaves. Not having those I used Penzeys Bouquet Garni with rewarding results.
