Fresh Green Beans Recipe
Fresh Green Beans Recipe-March 2024
Mar 31, 2026 5:18 AM

  Garth and the girls and I went to Colorado one spring break and spent the week in the guesthouse of some friends. We skied all day and came home exhausted in the evenings. Our friends provided a chef for us, and it was great to come back to the cabin after a long day to a beautifully prepared meal. I had always made Cooked-to-Death Green Beans (page 130), but the chef made these green beans one night and we fell in love with them. (The girls also fell in love with the chef, who looked a little bit like Tom Cruise.) When we have veggie night, the girls always ask, “Are we having Tom Cruise?” You can imagine the looks we get from guests who’ve never been to our house on veggie night!

  

Ingredients

serves 4

  2 pounds fresh green beans, tips removed

  4 tablespoons butter, melted

  Salt to taste

  

Step 1

Wash and drain the beans. Put 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Add the beans and cook until tender but still very crisp, about 6 minutes.

  

Step 2

Drain the beans and add the butter, tossing to coat as it melts. Season with salt to taste.
