Yummy Green Beans
This is a great one for using at home or for when you have pot luck type meals that you need something that travels well. Its great cold and warm so even if you have to travel distances and you beans cool down you still will have fantastic dish.
Ingredients:
● 2-3 green onions, chopped fine (I like to use both ends of the onion, white and green)
● 1 clove garlic, minced
● 1/3 cup olive oil
● 3 tbsp. lemon juice (I love using 1/2 of a fresh lemon but concentrated juice will work too)
● 1 tsp. salt
● 1 tsp. dry mustard
● 1/4 tsp. dried basil
● 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
● 1/4 tsp. dried marjoram
● 1/4 tsp. Herbs de Provence (optional but it really adds to the flavor if you have it in your “herb stash”)
● 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
● 1 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped (always better fresh but I’ll admit to using frozen and steaming them)
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix green onions, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, mustard, basil, oregano, marjoram, herbs de provence and pepper.
2. Place green beans in a steaming basket. Steam in a medium saucepan over boiling water 5 minutes, or to desired tenderness. (or use your preferred method of steaming)
3. Place green beans in a medium serving dish. Pour dressing mixture over the beans. (If traveling with this dish put dressing mixture in a separate container and pour over beans once you get to your location. Easier and cleaner.)
4. Toss dressing and beans lightly to cover.
5. Eat
I wasn’t quite prepared for photos but here you can see them in a blown up photo of a baby shower I helped host. (They’re green beans…you can’t miss em’) Like I said, this is my favorite dish to take to functions and my friends always love them and your friends and family will too.
