i used to buy one bag of these skinny green beans when i went to the store and inevitably ran out every time i made them.  they are good enough to make a two-year-old climb across the table to steal them off my plate…true story. so i started buying TWO batches in order to accommodate my little bean lovers.

ingredients:

• 1 (or 2) pre-trimmed bunch/bag/batch of haricot vert
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter (or regular if you use dairy)
• 1 small onion (or 1 large if you double recipe and use 2 bags green beans)
• garlic salt
• fresh ground pepper

1. steam green beans in microwave or on stovetop until slightly tender
2. while steaming, dice onion 
3. strain green beans and place them into large skillet with butter over low-medium heat
4. add onion and cover for 5 minutes
5. lift cover and stir contents so that they do not burn (i like mine browned but not burned)
6. continue to cook until desired color/texture is achieved, adding garlic salt and pepper towards the end (approximately 10-12 minutes total skillet time, depending on level of heat)
