Green Beans with Mint
- 1 x green beans
- 1 x onions sliced
- 1 x olive oil
- 1 x parsley leaves freshly chopped, a handful
- 1 x mint leaves freshly chopped
- 1 x bread crumbs optional
- 1 x lemon juice fresh to taste
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- Boil green beans in well salted water until tender.
- While the green beans are cooking, saute sliced onions (perhaps half as much by weight as the green beans) in a generous amount of olive oil over moderate heat until they are nicely softened.
- (Adding a sprinkling of salt and a spoonful of water helps them to cook more quickly.)
- Mix a handful of chopped parsley and mint into the onions.
- Then, if you like, add some bread crumbs, turn up the heat a bit and let them saute until they turn golden.
- Otherwise, turn off the heat.
- When the green beans are tender, drain them and add them to the skillet with the onions and herbs.
- Turn them to coat well and let them stew for just a few minutes to insaporire.
- Before serving, sprinkle the beans with a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice, just enough to brighten the flavours, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
