Lemony Green Beans

1. 1

   Snap off the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.

2. 2

   Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter.

3. 3

   (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom so you can keep track of the color.)

4. 4

   Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly.

5. 5

   As the butter melts, it will begin to foam.

6. 6

   The color will progress from lemony-yellow to golden-tan to, finally, a toasty-brown.

7. 7

   Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.

8. 8

   Add some lemon juice and salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.
