Make this recipe all the time! Probably my favorite way to eat green beans. Great side dish but the flavorful juice that results would also make this great stuffed into a pita with cheese or falafel.

Very tasty. Substituted Chicken Broth for Water for extra depth of flavor. I think it would be better with Tofu added. On further reflection, I've decided to take away one star. Some modifications would take this recipe up to four stars.

Really good. I will substitute some cauliflower for some of the green beans next time.
