How to Cook Green Beans with Buerre Brun Sauce on the Stove
I love green beans! That’s a fact… I also love to eat them the same way a lot. However, I will mix it up a bit with a more brown butter sauce than the typical butter, salt & pepper. Green beans are perfect on their own just like that, but butter, salt & pepper are the best accompaniments you can find for them. Here’s my Green Beans with Buerre Brun Sauce, which just means brown butter. These are so easy to...
