Picking the Best Green Beans
I know it’s not rocket science, picking out green beans. Look for firm green beans, ones that are not slimy or soft. I like the ones that are medium in size where the beans have not gotten too big making them a little more rough when cooked.
This recipe can even be done with frozen or canned green beans if this is what you have on hand. Boil the frozen green beans the same as if they are fresh. The canned green beans can be heated through and seasoned the same as the written recipe.
