I got this recipe from my friend, Pat, so of course we always call them "Pat's Green Beans."

PAT'S GREEN BEANS
Wash and cut ends off fresh green beans. I usually buy a sack full!

Blanch in boiling water for 1-1/2 min. Plunge immediately into ice water.

In large saute pan, melt butter or margarine. Start with 2 Tbsp. Add 1 tsp. crushed garlic and soy sauce to taste. (I use garlic in jar - not as strong & easier to digest). Saute beans in soy/garlic mixture. I served these beans with Ham & Cheese Stuffed Potatoes.

I am planting green beans again this year, even though I can only stand to eat them a couple times a year.

What a way to dress up green beans! Will have to try these with fresh ones this summer.

No doubt they are delicious. I would love to try them. I have cut butter from my diet, but ever so often is okay even for me. Love those green beans.

Has he ever added onions to this recipe?
Marianne M. Feb 21, 2009, 12:07pm EST
Onions would be good, Lynn! So would sliced mushrooms ...

I always put a slice of bacon in with my green beans while they're cooking.
