Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs fresh wax beans (can use both) or 2 lbs fresh green beans (can use both)
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil (can use more, and can use both oil and butter) or 1 -2 tablespoon butter (can use more, and can use both oil and butter)
2 medium onions, sliced
3 chopped fresh garlic cloves (or to taste, I use about 2 tablespoons, chopped not minced!)
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
2/3 cup orange juice
salt and pepper

Steps:

Rinse the beans with cold water and trim off ends.
In medium saucepan, steam the beans (tightly covered) in about 1/4 cup water until tender, about 5 minutes; remove from water to drain well, and set aside (I pat them dry with paper towels).
In a skillet heat the oil or butter (can use both).
Add in sliced onions, and chopped garlic; saute for about 3 minutes.
Add in zest, 2/3 cup orange juice, salt and pepper to taste.
Add in the steamed beans; toss to coat.
Heat for about 1 more minute or so.
Delicious!
