Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts water
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

In a 3-quart saucepan or soup kettle, bring 2 quarts of water and a teaspoon of salt to a bubbling boil over high heat. Drop the beans in by the handful. Bring the water to a boil again, reduce the heat to medium and cook the beans, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain them immediately in a sieve or colander. Melt the butter in the casseroole, and when the foam subsides, add the onions. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes, or until they are translucent. Off the heat, stir in the paprika, continuing to stir until the onions are well coated. With a wire whisk, beat the flour into the sour cream, then stir the mixutre into the skillet with the onions and add the salt. Simmer on low heat for 4 or 5 minutes, or until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Gently stir in the beans; simmer about 5 minutes longer, or until heated through.
