This dish could not be more simple to make It literally only takes minutes to throw together, yet as my husband will testify, the flavor is so good, you'll smack peoples hands as they keep sneaking green beans outta the bowl before the meal! To quote my husband: "I was surprised at how great the flavor was. for ordinary looking green beans, they were really full of surprises!"
Of course I had to serve mine up in my grandmothers china bowl. It wouldn't be a family meal if you didn't cherish and bring back the memories of the ones we hold we dear through stories, dishes, recipes, and photos! Today it's her pretty pink china!
Jan's Tip: If you want to use fresh herbs (like I did) substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh herbs for every 1/2 teaspoon of dried herbs in the recipe
