Green beans with garlic

This tasty accompaniment is quick to make and can easily be altered to suit your particular taste.

We frequently make this recipe with french green beans, but any long bean would work, including runner beans. Boil or steam them so they are cooked to to your liking and then quickly coat in garlicky butter.
