You can easily steam your green beans, thus preserving all their nutritional qualities. Wash them all together in clean water and afterwards frame them. Do not hesitate to break them in half if they are not extra fresh, to remove any threads. Spot them in the steam bushel of your liner. Add the vital water to the steam in the proper compartment at that point heat. Permit 35 minutes of cooking time for 500 g of new green beans. When cooked, dip the green beans in a bowl of ice water. This will preserve their green colour while stopping cooking.

You can also cook green beans in boiling water. After washing and hulling them, boil a large volume of salted water in a casserole dish or large saucepan. At the first broth, throw in the fresh green beans. At that point cook for 12 minutes in the event that you need marginally firm green beans. Allow 15 minutes for them to be tender. Don’t hesitate to bite into a bean during cooking to obtain the desired texture. Toward the finish of cooking, channel the green beans and wash them in cool water to fix their green tone. Then eat your green beans as you wish, simply hot with a knob of butter or as a salad with sundried tomatoes, chopped garlic and a dash of balsamic vinegar.

If you don’t have a steamer, you can steam your green beans, in your pressure cooker or pressure cooker, with a few herbs that will delicately flavour them. Wash the vegetables, hull them and break them in half to remove the threads. At that point place them in the liner container of the meal dish. Add a little garlic and chopped onions as well as diced tomatoes. Add salt and pepper. Pour a little water in the pressure cooker, cover it and lock it. Heat over high heat until steam escapes. Then allow 10 minutes of cooking, lowering the heat before releasing the pressure. Enjoy your green beans immediately with a little chopped fresh basil.
