Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound French-cut green beans
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Preparation
To prepare beans, trim both ends with a paring knife, or snap off. Cut beans in half into approximately equal-size pieces, then carefully split each bean in half lengthwise with a paring knife.
Bring 1 tablespoon butter and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a large skillet. Add beans. Cover; cook over medium-low heat until tender, 16 to 20 minutes.
Toss with remaining tablespoon butter and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
