Procedure
There are many ways to cook green beans, the most common are boiled, in a pressure cooker, and in a pan.
Before proceeding with cooking the green beans, we must dedicate ourselves to the tedious part, cleaning the green beans. The ends of the green beans are not edible and must be removed.
After completing the cleaning, it is time to start cooking.
Put a pot with water and a pinch of salt on the fire and bring to a boil. When the water is hot, immerse the beans and cook them for 15 minutes.
If you will use the green beans in a salad you can add a drizzle of oil and two tablespoons of vinegar to the water to flavor them.
Now that the cooking of the green beans is finished, you just have to use them in your recipes or serve them on the table as a side dish.
Your boiled green beans are ready!
Plating Tips:
This is a simple side dish, all you have to do is place the cooked green beans in a bowl to bring to the table for the diners.
Green Bean Wine Pairing:
Being a side dish, I recommend pairing the boiled green beans based on the final result. Since it is a summer product, I would opt for a dry white wine.
