Steps:
- Wash and trim the string beans.
- I usually start out with more string beans than the 3 pounds called for in the recipe since I eat a lot raw and not all of them make it into the pot.
- Combine with all the other ingredients in a 3 quart pot and mix.
- Cook, covered on a small flame for 30 minutes.
- Drain.
- Serve warm or chilled.
