Preparation

  1. Fill a pot with water. Season with salt so that you can taste it. Bring to a boil.
  2. Plunge beans into water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until just tender but still quite firm. If you’re using green beans, it will take a minute or so longer. Drain. Return beans to pot. Add butter, stir in 2 tablespoons dill and season with pepper.
  3. Stir and toss beans in pot over low heat, until butter is melted. Taste a bean and season with salt and more pepper, or dill, if desired.
