directions

  • Heat a not stick pan on med-high.
  • Add compound butter and let it melt.
  • When butter just starts to bubble and turn a little brown around the edge, add green beans.
  • Add the stock and cover with a tight fitting lid.
  • Let it cook on high for about 5 min or until steam slows down.
  • Remove lid and cook for an additional 3 to 4 min, while tossing beans n the pan to keep them moving. They will burn if you don’t keep them on the move.
  • Once the liquid has reduced down to next to nothing and the green beans are just a little toasted, serve and enjoy.

  1. Great recipe! My family loved them, they came out just right. This will become a standby for beans in my house.
     
  2. Hubby loved these. I think the dish has great potential. I used low sodium chicken stock, but the green beans were still too salty for me. Next time I'll cut the salt back on the compound butter.
     
  3. Used fresh beans from my garden and I will make this again,
     
  4. These are awesome! I used fresh green beans and steamed them in the microwave for about 5 minutes first. I didn't have any compound butter, so just threw the ingredients to your compound butter (butter, garlic, salt, pepper, summer savory) into the skillet at the same time. Although the garlic did brown a little too much (as a result of me trying to cook 4 things at the same time), the whole dish was excellent. After he had eaten his, I asked Dh how he liked them. He looked at the empty spot on his plate and said "What green beans? You didn't give me any!"- a sure compliment!! These are definitely a keeper in our house. Thanks so much for posting!

<p>I used to cook professionally, but got out of the business because it is a soul crushing, low paying job. If you want to hate cooking, run a hotel kitchen. Now that I don't have to do it for a paycheck, I cook for my friends and family as much as possible. I enjoy making everything from BBQ to Bur Blanc. I love mixing chocolate with spicy ingredients. I am rather new to baking, (only a few years) but I really love it and try to bake whenever I get a chance. I work offshore in the Gulf and I always sneak down to the galley to make stuff for the guys. I'm a huge fan of Alton Brown. I think the guy is a genius. I have tried so many of his recipes, and they all rock. Since finding this website and having a public place to post my recipes for others to review, I have become more conscientious about writing my kitchen experiments down. I still have yet to get my whole wheat pizza dough to paper, but I promise, it's on it's way. My passion for cooking has increased 10 fold since I left the biz, and I plan to keep putting new recipes here and trying my hand at new stuff. <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></p>
