Green Beans with Balsamic Browned Butter
Note: you could double the sauce, if you’re a saucy person. Also, we added finely chopped garlic and onion to the sauce; we start by browning the veg in olive oil and then build the recipe on top of it.
1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
Cook green beans in a large pot of salted water just until crisp-tender; drain then arrange on a serving plate. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter solids have started to brown, about 2 – 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add the tablespoon of balsamic vinegar – be careful, it will sputter. Swirl pan or stir with a long-handled spoon until it stops bubbling. Season with a bit of salt and freshly ground black pepper then spoon butter mixture over the green beans. Serves 4.
