Answer 1

Green beans can be steamed (if you like them crisp), boiled in broth, ham or water, drained and seasoned butter.

Plain steamed or boiled beans can be tossed in Italian dressing and sprinkled with almonds. Another favorite is to heat olive oil and garlic in a skillet and add the crisp beans and cook until they are the texture that you like (make sure they have been pre-cooked or they will burn before they cook thoroughly enough).

Answer 2

Ok here is an awesome recipe.

First clean them up a little, try to leave them as long as possible. Then cook them in salted water until they are tender but with a little snap left in them. The dunk them in ice water this stops the cooking process. Then dry them off with a paper towel. Then fry some good smoky bacon nice and crispy save the fat. Saute some onions and garlic. Once the onions are translucent put the bacon chopped up back in add the onions garlic and green beans. It's a beautiful thing. You could add some mushrooms to the mixed while you are sauteing the onions and garlic, don't forget fresh ground pepper and salt while you are bringing the green beans back up to temp.

Answer 3

Cook 1 pound fresh green beans, cut in 1 inch lengths (4 cups) covered in a small amount of boiling, salted water about 10 minutes. Drain beans. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup onion, 1/4 cup celery, 1 clove garlic, minced, 1/4 teaspoon rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon basil. Cover and cook about 10 minutes over low heat.

Answer 4

I know what you mean about not knowing how to cook fresh vegetables. I'm not sure this is the one you are looking for but here goes, here is one that is actually boiled with butter. Here are a couple of recipes that helped me learn how to cook fresh. I grew up eating canned vegetables.
4 cups mixed blanched and refreshed green beans,
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons water
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
To blanch and refresh vegetables: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.
Variation:
Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.

Answer 5

Steam or boil the green beans until just crisp/tender and then drain in a collander. In the pan in which you cooked the beans add some butter and sliced garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant. Put the beans back in the pot with some fresh ground black pepper and a little kosher salt until they are cooked.

Answer 6

To prepare a pot of fresh green beans with nutrition in mind, half fill a Dutch oven with water and bring it to a boil. Then add about 2 pounds of snapped green beans to the boiling water. Boil for 8 minutes; remove pot from heat and drain beans. Rinse beans with cold water to stop the cooking process. When you are ready to eat, reheat the beans with 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter and season to taste with salt and pepper. Of course, if you refuse to have butter on your plate, you can substitute a little flavored olive oil.

Answer 7

Here are a couple of ways

One is to steam them or boil them for just a couple of minutes, until they turn bright green. I like my beans crisp. Then put on a little butter, salt, and pepper.

Another way I like to prepare them is to saute them in a little olive oil, and again top with salt and pepper. In this way you would heat a skillet over medium-high heat. After the pan gets hot (a couple of minutes usually), add the oil to the pan, put in the beans and just keep the beans moving around in the pan for a couple of minutes, either with a utensil or by shaking the pan.
or you can snap the ends off, add to a large pot of boiling water add salt, and side pork, bacon or anything like that for flavor and boil about 20 mins or so until tender but crisp and bright green.. Salt to taste

Answer 8

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 to 1 1/4 pounds trimmed green beans – many markets have trimmed raw beans in packages in the fresh produce department in 1 pound packages
Salt

To a medium pan over medium heat add extra-virgin olive oil and butter and onion. Saute onion 3 minutes, add broth and bring to a boil. Add beans, season with salt and cover pan and simmer 8 minutes, until tender.


And that is it!!! Have fun on Christmas!!!!

Answer 9

I think steaming them is the best way, just make sure you take off the string that runs along the groove, if they are string beans, steam them until they are a bright green if you like them crunchy and for longer if you like them soft, and you can add a knob of butter to them.

Answer 10

yes. my favorite meal is so simple: i put as many green beans as i like in the crock pot (normally equivalent to 3 cans), cut up a head of cabbage and put it in with the beans, cut up a few red potatoes and add to cooker, then put bacon on top of everything, salt and pepper, and about 3 tablespoons of butter. oh and i almost forgot, add water until its about 1/4 full in the crock pot. on high i cook it for about 4-6 hours and on low 8 or so hours.
