It's even better that I have them growing in my little backyard garden as well. The green beans from my garden are crisp and sweet. When I am picking them I find it hard to resist popping one or two into my mouth. They are just so good!

Delicious Green Beans with Onions and Garlic |
I like to blanch green beans for a couple of minutes first, cool them off in a water-bath and drain them before finishing them in a frying pan. With this technique, you preserve the bright green color, fresh flavor, and crunch. Your family will find it hard to resist these delicious vegetables.
