Provençal Green Beans

When I prepare lunch or dinner, a question I regularly ask myself is “and what about the side dish?” Vegetables must always be there. So today I suggest you try these Provençal green beans. They are delicious and perfect for accompanying white meats. A recipe as simple as it is tasty that is prepared in just a few steps with a few ingredients. They are also excellent both hot and at room temperature. My son, however, claims that they are even better cold. They are also suitable for a lunch box, don’t you agree?
