This has so far been my favorite fresh green bean recipe for this summer, it is so easy and the flavors are amazing! A recipe that is very simple with the sauce just perfect for fresh green beans. This recipe may just be my winner for the summer garden season. A great one from garden to table!

How To Make

Skillet Green Beans With Lemon Sauce

Fresh Green Beans right out of our garden.

Beans were washed and dried, in our outdoor kitchen before coming in the house. I snapped the beans and visited with a friend that stopped in to have a cup of tea and visit.

The green beans are sautéed in a very hot skillet

 with some red pepper flakes.

We are adding some chopped onion and garlic, along 

with a few other seasons.

Next we add the butter and lemon juice.

Toss in the sauce and then they will be ready to serve.

Enjoy!

I am always so excited to present one of our garden to table recipes. There is something really special about putting that seed in the ground and many months later we can harvest the vegetable, give it a special recipe and then share it with all of you. Thanks so much for stopping by the cottage today and have a wonderful week!

Peace and Joy
