Wax Beans

4 servings

Ingredients

• Wax beans, yellow (as needed)
• Butter (a little)
• Flour (a little)
• Meat broth (a little)
• Parsley (a little)
• Savory (a little)

Instructions

1. Cut the yellow beans, which must be very fresh and blemish-free, into equally long, diagonal strips and treat them like green beans.
2. Preparation is exactly the same, with a light roux made from butter and flour, meat broth, chopped parsley, and savory.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
