The humble green bean is often not treated with the respect it deserves. Yet using it to produce a simple side dish that will accompany a very wide range of meals is so easy. A really quick and simple side dish!

Cooked green beans with golden brown onions mixed together.

Green beans fresh out of the garden are almost a different vegetable than picked and stored to be eaten later, so if you can, eat them freshly picked.

Cooking green beans takes no time at all and if done well are one of the most delicious vegetables available.
