Green beans are unfortunately always overcooked. For 2 1/4 lbs of beans, put 5 quarts of unsalted boiling water in a large enamel or stainless steel pot. Add the beans 1 handful at a time, so the water doesn╒t stop boiling. Cook uncovered, testing the beans regularly, as soon as they are no longer crunchy, they are ready. Remove and rinse under cold water. Reheat gently in butter, uncovered and without browning them. Add finely chopped onions, parsley or garlic and serve.

We suggest serving a red Mont-Ventoux with the beans.
