Lemon-Thyme Green Beans image

Fresh thyme can be used more generously than dried as it is not as concentrated.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, bring 1/2 inch water to a boil; salt generously.
  • Add green beans; reduce to a simmer, and cover skillet. Steam beans, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Pull lid back slightly, and tilt skillet to drain water from green beans; add lemon juice, butter, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to melt butter. Serve green beans garnished with additional thyme, if desired.
