Creamy Mustard Tossed Green Beans

• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons stone-ground or whole-grain mustard
• 1/4 cup light sour cream
• Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

1. Place a steamer insert in a large pot and add enough water to reach just below the insert.
2. Place the pot over high heat, cover with a lid, and bring the water to a boil.
3. Add the green beans and re-cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly ajar.
4. Steam the beans for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.
5. Drain them well.
6. Meanwhile, mix the mustard and sour cream in a small bowl until well combined.
7. Transfer the beans to a large glass or plastic serving bowl and add the mustard mixture.
8. Toss well to coat.
9. Season with salt and pepper.
10. Serve immediately.
11. Follow the stovetop directions, except instead of cooking the beans in a steamer, put 3 tablespoons water and the green beans in a medium microwave-safe bowl or dish.
12. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe plate.
13. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the beans are crisp-tender.
14. Drain them well.
