- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound fresh green beans
What to Do

Notes
To quickly chop fresh leafy herbs, such as basil, for this recipe, pack the herbs in a measuring cup, and snip them into little pieces with kitchen shears.

I would prefer to steam beans up to 5 minutes, not more. The marinade is great! I also use it for asparagus.
