Blanch for about 5 minutes, or steam. Like them crisp but not raw.

I use canned DelMonte, with 2 - 3 slices of jowl. I cook for a while. Have to get the meat done.

i prefer frozen green beans. my favorites are the haricots verts.....the ones that are quite thin. i microwave them with a little salt and butter for about 5 minutes.

Stir fry .. barely. I hate overcooked veggies. Rarely cook 'em more than 2 minutes.

I want my beans to be a little crisp. They're great sautéd with a bit of olive oil and whatever spices you like.

I put the beans and half inch water in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, I take it off the heat and put a lid on for a couple minutes.

I don't care for crisp, just fork tender.

I cut off the ends and strings, blanch for a couple minutes, submerge in ice, drain well in colander, add seasoned broken pecans (prepared ahead (baked in oven) with cinnamon, sugar and cayenne pepper), add some butter, a little steak seasoning and sea salt. Voila. Great beans in just a few.
