Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds green beans -- ends snipped and
-- cut into 1-inch

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon lemon zest -- freshly grated
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves minced -- or
1 teaspoon dried rosemary -- crumbled

In a large kettle of boiling salted water cook the beans for 5 minutes, or unti

ucepan melt the butter over low heat with the zest, rosemary, and salt and pepp
er to taste . Keep the mixture warm. Transfer the beans to a serving dish and
pour the butter mixture over the beans. Toss well and serve warm.

Notes: You can serve this vegetable side dish with your Cÿntemporary or
Dÿxie (So
uthern Style) Thanksgiving Day Dinner Menus from Recipe-a-Day.com. The fresh r
osemary really adds a savory flavor to the green beans, so it's worth it to fin
d the fresh herb.

If you can't find fresh green beans in your local at this time of the year, you
can substitute 16-oz. of frozen green beans that are already trimmed. Just v
ary the cooking time and serve as directed.
