Green Beans with Olives


I like the old Best of Gourmet Cookbooks from the 80’s and 90’s because “gourmet” isn’t necessarily elaborate, just good ingredients well-prepared, and the recipes are often for 2 servings.  This easy recipe was perfect for lunch today.
                         Green Beans with Olives
     1/2      Pound  Green Beans -- trimmed
     1/2      Teaspoon  Dried Oregano
  4             Kalamata Olives -- pitted and chopped
  1             Tablespoon  Butter
                        Lemon Juice -- to taste
Boil the beans with the oregano in a pan of salted boiling water for 5 minutes, or until crisp tender.
Drain the beans and toss them with the olives, butter and lemon juice.

  1. "Good ingredients well-prepared..." is about the BEST definition of GOURMET as I've ever heard! LOVE THIS. And PS - I have all the ingredients for this recipe at home right now, so it looks like we'll be having green beans for supper tonight. Thanks & have a great day!
