Simmered Green Beans

Recently I cooked my current boyfriend a lovely dinner of chicken and broccoli bake (Step-by-Step Comfort Food from Confident Cooking) with simmered green beans on the side. They worked well together, if only because they both used chicken broth, garlic and some form of onions.

Now granted this was my first stab at simmered vegetables, but I think they turned out extremely well (and so did he). Considered yourself forewarned, now onto the recipe!

Simmer Green Beans*
2 to 3 servings



- 1 Can or approximately 16 oz. of Green Beans (I used french cut, but any kind will do. Fresh is generally best though, just ignore the fact that I used a can. )
- 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
- Minced garlic to taste
-2 teaspoons chopped onions (or to taste)
-Salt and Pepper to taste

Put ingredients into a pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until onions are translucent and beans are well flavored. Also keep in mind the amount of broth you would like kept with the beans. Personally I simmered it until the broth was almost gone, leaving just a slight amount to pour over the served beans or to dip other foods in.
