Green Beans

4 servings

Ingredients

• Beans (broad sword beans or narrow beans) (as needed)
• Butter (a little)
• Flour (a little)
• Meat broth (a little)
• Parsley, chopped (a little)
• Savory (a little)

Instructions

1. Use broad sword beans, sliced, or narrow beans, cut into pieces or snapped; for both varieties, remove the strings beforehand.
2. Boil in unsalted water for 10-15 minutes and fill into cans with their own water, which are then processed as usual.
3. To prepare, make a light roux from butter and flour, pour in meat broth, add the drained beans, let them cook briefly, and before serving, mix in some chopped parsley and savory.
