If you prefer to use dried tarragon, add 1/2 teaspoon at the appropriate point.
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, stemmed
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
Directions
Bring the water, butter, salt and green beans to a boil in a Dutch oven or large deep skillet. Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the vegetable is brightly colored and just tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes longer, adding the tarragon at this point. Saute to intensify flavors, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Adjust seasonings, including pepper to taste, and serve.

I used green beans from the farmers market, and fresh tarragon from the garden. Recipe was super quick and easy. My picky eaters ate it up and my husband said these were the best ever green beans. A new family favorite. Thanks!
