Green Beans with Butter, Herbs and Chives
Green Beans with Butter, Herbs and Chives
- 1 pound thin green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped fine
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. parsley, chopped fine
- 2 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 2 Tbsp. tarragon or basil, chopped fine
- 2 Tbsp. chives, chopped fine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges
Bring a large pot of salty water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Boil the beans for 2 minutes. Plunge them into the ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Drain the beans and pat dry on a cloth or paper towel. Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan. Cook the onions until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the green beans and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Add all the herbs and some salt and pepper and toss to combine. Cook for 1 minute more. Serve hot or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
