     I already love green beans but these were great. I added some minced fresh garlic and left out the parsley as I didn't have any. - 4/22/08

     We added soy sauce & 3 cloves of chopped garlic and my hubby said he could eat a whole plate by itself. Yummo! - 1/22/08

     I make these ALL the time. The blanching is SO essential to getting the proper texture. I also like to add mushrooms and or minced garlic. Love love love sauteed green beans :) - 4/14/08

     Use garlic! I am not a fan of these beans and these were a great way to eat them! - 4/20/09

     Very simple and tasted very good! I left out the parsley, because I didn't have any on hand, it was still good. I will make this again. - 4/21/08

     I made this for me and my mother as we are both trying to lose weight. MY WHOLE FAMILY ATE THIS UP. It was delicious. - 6/12/07
  • GUAMCHEF
     My only problem with this recipe is the 12 minute boiling time suggested. If placed in rapidly boiling water, 7 minutes works every time for a cooked but firm bean. - 10/17/09
  • LIL_MRS_EVA
     a great alternative to the same old boring boiled/steamed green beans. And my husband enjoyed them! - 3/16/07
