Love green beans, but looking for a twist? Give this recipe a try. It's sure to be a family favorite!
1 1/2 lbs green beans (washed and trimmed)
3 Tbsp butter
2 tsp fresh garlic finely chopped with a pinch of salt
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Fill a large pot with water; bring to a rolling boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt and the beans. Cook, uncovered, for 5 - 8 minutes or until tender but still vibrant green and slightly resistant to the bite. Drain beans; immediately submerge in bowl of lightly salted ice water to stop cooking and set color. When thoroughly chilled, drain well. (Beans can be prepared to this point 1 day ahead and refrigerated.)
In a wide skillet heat butter over medium-high heat until hot and foaming. Add beans. Cook, tossing often, until heated through. Sprinkle with garlic and parley, a generous amount of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook 1 minute longer, tossing frequently to distribute flavorings and avoid burning the garlic. Sprinkle with additional parsley. Serve immediately.
