French-style green beans: A new summer dinner sensation

When I think of French-style green beans, my stomach immediately starts growling. I most often serve them with roasted or boiled potatoes and a fried egg. This combination is the essence of a summer dinner.

Green beans are a light snack and a delicious addition. They are a rich source of dietary fibre, which regulates the digestive system. They are also low in calories, making them perfect for a diet. Green beans have a low glycaemic index, which is appreciated by people dealing with diabetes and insulin resistance. They also contain vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins C, K, A, and B-group vitamins.

Green beans can be served differently than we have known for years. The recipe for the French version of this dish has recently taken over my home and family's taste buds. A simple change made the green beans disappear from the plates the fastest. From now on, I try to prepare a large bowl each time, which still quickly becomes empty.

Ingredients:

• 300 g yellow green beans,
• 20 g butter,
• 2 tablespoons olive oil,
• 1 medium shallot,
• 1 clove garlic,
• 1/3 cup parsley.

Add-ons:

• young potatoes,
• fried egg.

Preparation method:

Step 1. Boil salted water and cook the yellow-green beans until soft. Then, immediately transfer them to a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

Step 2. Add butter and pour olive oil into a pan. Add finely chopped shallot and pressed garlic and sauté.

Step 3. Add the green beans and chopped parsley and sauté everything together.

Step 4. Fry the egg in the pan, cook the young potatoes, and roast them in the oven. Serve them along with the French-style green beans. Enjoy!
