How long do you boil fresh green beans?!


Question: How long do you boil fresh green beans!?
Answers:
If you snapped them yourself, they will need to boil at least half an hour!. I use just enough water to cover them, put a ham bone/oil in water for flavor, dab of salt!. You want the beans to cook long enough so they are tender not hard/tough!. I posted a video that cooks the beans 3 different ways, steam, blanch and almondine!. Hope you check it out! Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

3 to 5 minutes!. add some lemon juice to the water, and take the beans out when they are a nice green color, they should still be firm and bendy (they shouldn't snap, but shouldn't be mushy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

depending what your going to do with them and how you like them!.
for a salad i only boil them for 3 min!. if you want them softer cook them longer!. you have to taste them to be sure they are to your likingWww@FoodAQ@Com

5-10 minutes until they are as soft as you like them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
