Chive Green Beans Recipe

I love chives and this side is perfect in the summer when beans are at their freshest. Leave green beans whole for a restaurant-caliber look. Or try this recipe with other vegetables, such as steamed carrots or fresh asparagus.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Steam green beans, covered, 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from steamer; toss with remaining ingredients.
