I love green beans and I adore fresh dill. These French-Cut Green Beans with Dill Butter are a match made in heaven. Frenching green beans is easy, if you have a French Cut Green Bean Cutter. French cut green beans are basically julienned, or thinly sliced green beans. Yes, you can do it by hand, but why?!

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 25 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 pound French-cut green beans

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or ¼ teaspoon dried)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

1To prepare beans, trim both ends with a paring knife, or snap off. Cut beans in half into approximately equal-size pieces, then carefully split each bean in half lengthwise with a paring knife.



2Bring 1 tablespoon butter and ½ cup water to a boil in a large skillet. Add beans. Cover; cook over medium-low heat until tender, 16 to 20 minutes.

 Toss with remaining tablespoon butter and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
