Green Beans with Browned Butter Time: 30 minutes
My mother put browned butter on all of her vegetables. I don't do it quite that often but once in awhile it's still a treat. The nutty flavor of the butter pairs well with fresh green beans. Just don't let it get too dark. It will go from light brown to dark very quickly once it starts.
6 - 7 oz (200gr) green beans
1 1/2 tbs butter
Pepper
Top and tail beans...cut off the ends. Cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths (4cm) or leave whole. Put beans, 1/4 cup of water into a small pan, cover and simmer until done, about 15 minutes. If beans dry out add a little more water. When done drain beans, put into a serving bowl and put the pan back on medium heat. Add butter and brown it, being careful not to let it get too dark. Add pepper and beans, toss to coat and serve.
