So, to hedge my bets that the other people at Easter dinner would enjoy a side dish, I picked up some green beans... But then I thought the heck with them! Just kidding. I really do hope they like the beans even though they're not just steamed. I actually serve this as a salad a lot when beans are in season - just top lettuce with the beans and drizzle the sauce over the salad as dressing. Delicious. If you really feel like dressing it up a bit, add some grilled veggies and feta or goat cheese to the mix. Mmmm...
Balsamic Beans
2 tblsp olive oil
1 qt green beans
3 tblsp water
3 tblsp balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
Heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add green beans and toss to coat. Add water and cover for 3-4 minutes tossing occasionally. You want the beans to cook, but still be firm and crunchy. After beans are cooked, remove lid and turn heat up to high. Cook off half the water. Add balsamic, salt, and pepper and toss to coat. Let the beans cook for a minute or two in the balsamic and then serve.
