SIDE NOTES:
~ I don’t think a vegetable exists that wouldn’t taste great just tossed in a pan with a little butter & garlic. So simple, so good. I like them bright green & crisp, so limit the cook time to about 5 mins.

~ So many herbs & spices you could add to this, depending on what you’re in the mood for…..crushed red pepper, fresh basil, a squeeze of lemon juice……
~ I was surprised though, that my deep purple beans did not retain their color after cooking. I can tell which ones they were, as they ended up a darker green that the others. I did not know that pretty color was a temporary phenomenon!
