Fresh Green Beans

Fresh Green Beans
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes (I usually have to do it longer). Drain water, return beans to dry pan and put back on burner to get all excess water off. Add a generous dollop of butter and a handful of freshly chopped parsley and garlic. Saute for a couple of minutes until butter is melted and beans are heated through. (We haven't ever added the parsley or the garlic!!!)
