    Cut fresh 8oz green beans into 1 1/2 – 2โ€ pieces and Par Cook in boiling water. Blanch in ice bath, reserve for later. Lightly sautรฉ green beans in 1 tablespoon of butter, season with salt and pepper to taste. 1 oz of bacon may be used as a garnish to make souther style green beans. Green beans must still hold their bright green color and be Al dente.

    Thanks for the video. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
    I made these a few years ago after watching your video and now Iโ€™m back for a quick refresher.
    Even now I can remember they came out with just the right amount of crunch ๐Ÿ‘.

    I really enjoyed this simple video. I did my beans this way and cooked with a small amount of water afterward with my regular seasoning and butter, they were far better and way faster than just cooking in water forever to get tender. Very tasty, thanks for the video.

    I bought green beans from Trader Joeโ€™s, and after I froze them, they had freezer burn. They werenโ€™t plump after boiling. I guess these donโ€™t freeze well for another day??

    Why does everyone in the cooking channels say…."nice" as a description. Like, is it friendly? Those green beans were so "nice" and green, I couldn't bare to eat them, so we became friends, since they were so nice. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    WHAT??!! Crunchy green beans aren't cooked! I am 70 years old and all my life the best green beans were cooked until well done. Reheating the next day would make them softer still and then they were even better!! That's when they really express their true flavour. I have been served green beans at restaurants that were waxy and crunchy and they had no flavour. That seems to be the modern trend, though.
    Is this a true legitimate cooking channel or is this channel just satire??
