Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound green beans, stemmed
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Bring the water, butter, salt and green beans to a boil in a Dutch oven or large deep skillet. Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the vegetable is brightly colored and just tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes longer, adding the tarragon at this point. Saute to intensify flavors, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Adjust seasonings, including pepper to taste, and serve.
