By efriend

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound fresh green beans
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• coarse salt

Preparation

Step 1

Snap off the tops of the beans. Melt the butter in a skillet, add the beans, and cook them over a medium to medium-high flame, stirring, until they begin to brown. Lower the flame, cover, and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until the beans are the desired tenderness, stirring occasionally. Mix in the crushed garlic, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.
