Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp grated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  1. Place green beans and water in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the water is mostly evaporated and the beans are bright green, 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, garlic, salt and pepper; cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the beans are tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in chives and parsley.
