Buttery Crisp Sauteed Green Beans


By Mommy's Kitchen (Visit website)



I found some fresh green beans on sale at Sprouts Farmer's Market the other day. Sprouts Market is my go to place to get all the items I need to make homemade breads, Granola, Artisan Bread and Overnight Oatmeal . I can get those items dirt cheap compared to the grocery store. Steele Cut oats are regularly priced at .69 a lb which is awesome and even better on sale at .50 a lb that is such a steal. I usually stock up when I go there since it is way out in Plano. What I noticed the last couple times I have been in Sprouts is that their produce is so much cheaper than my regular grocery store. I was shocked at all the low prices they had on their produce. Last time I went they had Fresh Green Beans on sale for .60 a lb. I love Fresh Green Beans so I grabbed a bag and loaded up.

My favorite way to eat fresh green beans is the old southern way, Southern Style Green Beans & New Potatoes. Um all that bacon and potatoes its so good. I cant eat them to often because they are fattening but so worth it. So instead today I am bringing you a simple way to eat fresh green beans. Some of you may already prepare your green beans in this manner, but for the folks that don't this is a real easy and yummy way to make fresh green beans. This recipe does utilize a bit of real butter, but not to much to be considered bad. It has just enough to give it a great buttery flavor. I saw this recipe on the Martha Stewart show when it first came out so it's been awhile. I love the simplicity of the this recipe the most so, this is my new favorite way to eat green beans. I hope y'all will give it try. What is your favorite way to prepare fresh green beans?

Trim the ends of the beans and set aside. Using a large bowl prepare a ice water bath and set that to the side as well.


Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Cook green beans until crisp tender, about 3-5 minutes.


Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to the ice water bath


(this will stop the cooking process)


drain the beans and set aside.


In a large sauce pan bring 1/4 cup water and butter to a boil over medium high heat.


Saute' the beans until they are heated through but still crisp.


Season with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper. You can also season with lemon pepper its all up to you. My favorite is just butter and salt & pepper. There is nothing better than fresh crisp buttery green beans.
