Ingredients:

• 3 cups fresh green beans
• 2 Tablespoons salted butter
• 1/2 cup red sweet pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup white onion, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method

Wash the green beans. Cut off any brown spots and trim the ends off the beans. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes until the beans are done but still slightly crisp. Remove from the heat, but keep covered so they will stay warm. While the beans are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced sweet pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add beans to skillet. Mix the vegetables together. Add black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes:

Number of servings: 4 to 6
