I used only about a tablespoon of olive oil and that was plenty. I then added some water to the pan and cooked until they were done. It was nice and simple. I sauted them on medium and then turned it down a bit when I added the water. Yum.

This was a lovely fresh side dish to accompany our Easter dinner. The lemon juice flavor was a nice surprise. I used the haricots buerre (butter/yellow beans) and they were so pretty, too.
