Do you steam or boil fresh green beans?
Answers:
steam
you can both but i usualy steam them to perserve the vitimans
You can do it either way*~ I like them steamed but do boil them at times*
You can cook em anyway you like. Sometimes I microwave em, sometimes boil, but mostly steam. I dont like em too crunchy tho so they all take a little longer than most people would suggest. Trial, and error, - - - give all the methods a go.Good luck.
The best way I think, if you don't mind the extra step, is to par boil them so they're slightly soft, and then finish them off in a small pan with a little olive oil, garlic and dill....they're the best!
Steaming is best for fresh vegetables of all sorts. If done properly, they will remain crisp and full of flavor. You may also add a tablespoon of minced garlic to the beans while they steam to add flavor.
I like to clean them, snap them and cook them in a pot with some bacon, onion a bit of garlic--about an hour or so just enough water to cover.
I steam all my fresh vegetables. Boiling can take away some of the nutrients.
Neither, I high temp roast them with olive oil and tons of chopped garlic.
Boil with sliced garlic. Tossed with a tea spoon of olive oil & a small pinch of salt after drain. It is quick & easy.
