Notes
- To prep ahead of time, blanch the beans and then refrigerate in an airtight container. Then saute beans as directed.
- The best way to tell if a bean is cooked is to taste one. I find it best for the beans to still have a bit of bite to them. However, cook them to your liking.
- Make certain all excess water is drained off the beans. This will help prevent excess splatters when adding the beans to the pan.
