Preparing Veggies II

easy tasty veggies... if they were this good when i was a kid, i woulda eaten 'em


Green Beans
4 Red Potatoes
1 lemon cut in wedges
1 TBSP butter


Blanch a hand full of whole green beans :
- use beans at room temp
- bring pot of water to a boil
- add green beans and boil until they are neon green ~5 min, quickly strain

- cut red potatoes in ~1" cubes
- heat non-stick pan med-heat, melt 1 TBSP butter
- add lemon wedges and potatoes - once potatoes start to brown, add blanched green beans
- toss in the pan until potatoes are just browned ~3-5min - don't need to be cooked through, the raw crunch adds to the texture
- pinch salt/pepper
