Steamed Green Beans, Celery, Red Pepper & Onions image

Very simple recipie that is attractive and tasty. I say to steam the beans & celery for 10 minutes and add the peppers/onions for last 5 minutes - This leaves the vegetables still quite crisp. If you like your veggies well done double the time.
