Instructions

  1. Wash and trim the string beans.
  2. I usually start out with more string beans than the 3 pounds called for in the recipe since I eat a lot raw and not all of them make it into the pot.
  3. Combine with all the other ingredients in a 3 quart pot and mix.
  4. Cook, covered on a small flame for 30 minutes.
  5. Drain.
  6. Serve warm or chilled.
