  1. Loved these! It's an easy way to change it up from the usual steamed green beans! In addition to the fresh parsley, I also added some fresh oregano. Excellent! Made for Culinary Quest 2016.
     
  2. This was a nice side dish we all enjoyed. It was a nice change from plain green beans and went will with the grilled pork chops I served them with. Made for Culinary Quest 3
     
  3. Such a simple and tasty way to make green beans a little different. Served with Greek-style lamb shanks and rice with spinach and feta.
     
  4. Squeeky good! I could make a meal out of this. Thanks
     
  5. Awesome side dish! I made it with recipe#135056, which it worked well with, but next time I make this I'm going to use it as a side for grilled meat--it will be wonderful served that way! I loved this, and the flavors, Thanks, Susie! Made for ZWT4

  1. Awesome green beans, and easy to make. I did use green onions instead of one large onion, a couple cloves of garlic, and fresh parsley instead of mint. Thank you for posting this great recipe Susie, Happy Birthday!!!
