Ingredients
3/4 c reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
1/4 c chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tsp minced fresh gingerroot
1 TB butter (OPTIONAL - just use nonstick pan w/ spray)
1/8 tsp pepper
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil.
Add the beans. Cover and cook for 8 minutes**; drain.
In a large skillet, saute the onion, garlic, and gingerroot in butter (OPTIONAL - use nonstick pan & spray) until tender.
Add pepper and beans; heat through.
** I cook the beans for this long so my sweet husband will like them also. Really, if you like nice & crisp beans, just cook them about 3 minutes. 8 minutes is a good in-between ... not too crisp and not too squishy.
