If your a fan of fresh green beans like I am, then you will love this easy to make recipe I have listed below. If you don't grow your own green beans, you can simply go to your local grocery store to purchase them the same day you plan on whipping this dish up. For those of you who lucky enough to have green beans in their gardens, I recommend harvesting them the day you decide your going to make them, because the fresher the beans, the better this recipe will taste.

Ingredients;

A large bunch of fresh green beans, stems removed

2 cloves of minced garlic

1 tbsp parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Place your washed and stemmed Green beans in a large steamer. Cover the pan and steam your beans for about 15 minutes or till they are tender, but still have some firmness to them. Once they are cooked, place them in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Toss everything together and serve. If you want to save time, you can make this Dish a few hours before your going to eat and serve it at room temperature. Whether you serve the beans warm or at room temperature, they're just as delicious both ways. This recipe goes well as a side with Grilled meats and vegetables, Paired with a nice Pinot Noir.
