Green beans?

Question

Ok, I have some green beans I want to cook, how do you do it? I got the strings off them and washed them, now what, this is sad, I'm 26 yrs. old and been married for 8 yrs. and I do not know how to make green beans, my mother isn't home and I'm not about to confess this to my mother in law...Help!

Answer 1

Hope you pinched off their pointy ends as well.

Snap them in half, place in water, boil for about 5 minutes. Or place in a steamer for about 7.

Steaming is best. When steaming make a thin layer of the beans so that all of them get steamed. leaving them in for about 7 minutes will make them cooked but firm, without them losing the nutrients too much,

Answer 2

I'm assuming you wanted the boiling with ham recipe above, but here's a yummy one for another day maybe:

Some sesame seeds
Sesame Oil
Minced Garlic
Steamed Green Beans ( still kinda crisp)

First in a nonstick skillet (no oil or anything) toast the sesame seeds. Once they are light brown and smell slightly nutty add about a tbsp or so of Sesame Oil and minced garlic. heat until you can tell the Garlic is cooked (about 1 or 2 minutes depending on the temperature) remove from stove, add hot steamed green beans and toss. Yummy and HEALTHY!!!!

Answer 3

Cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces. Bring salted water to cover to a boil. Boil gently for 8 to 10 minutes for thoroughly cook beans. For some crunch cook for less time. For nice green color, immediately plunge into ice cold water for a minute or two.

Answer 4

you could blanche them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, then shock them in ice water if they're for a cold salad, or you could do a very simple sautee.

Sauteed Green Beans

1 1/2 pounds green beans
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablesoons butter
1/2 cup of water

Trim ends of beans. In large skillet melt butter and add beans, garlic and water. Stir and cook quickly over high heat until tender.

Answer 6

Do you have bacon or ham??? Break your beans into 2" pieces,,,just guess. Brown your meat for a few minutes and add beans to the kettle or large pot, add water. Put on a low heat and cook forever..Do you want them crisp or done like in a can....After 1 hours check them, turn the heat up a little. Check them in 1 hour, fo they need more water...keep checking them and add your water 1 cup at a time...It can take all afternoon...or so it seems...

Answer 7

I have a wonderful way to make green beans that's really easy but knocks the socks off of everyone who eats them!

Keep them whole, break off the ends and toss with a bit of GOOD olive oil, some garlic powder, rosemary, marjoram, thyme and oregano.

Scatter them on a cookie sheet and bake them for about 30 minutes. They should look a little wrinkled and browned around the edges.

Toss with a bit of roasted sesame seeds and serve immediately... YUUUUUMMMM and way too easy!

i like to put a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt in the water while cooking them ....but you dont have to
