Sautéed Green Beans

Green Beans have been harvested for centuries in South and Central America. Christopher Columbus brought them to Europe on his second excursion. And before that they were merely decorative in Europe and inedible.

Instead of steaming or boiling beans, try sauteing in a little olive oil.Green beans will turn a vibrant green as they heat up. How el dente you like them is up to you.
