Quick French-Style GREEN BEANS PARMESAN
16-oz. frozen French-style green beans
1 cup chicken broth
½ tsp. salt
1 T. butter or margarine
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
6 to 8 saltine crackers, coarsely crumbled
In a large skillet, cook the green beans in the chicken broth & salt until the green beans are just tender; then drain. While green beans are draining, add the butter or margarine to the skillet to melt. Stir in the drained green beans & cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the green beans, and continue to stir over heat for another minute. Sprinkle pepper to taste, and add the crumbles crackers; toss to mix & serve immediately. Serves 3 to 4.
My daughter, Genia, developed this green bean recipe. It is both quick & easy to make and tastes delicious. She is a very good cook, but prefers to spend her time on her artwork. No problem; I’ll do the cooking because I surely can’t draw. I have attended some of her painting classes and every time am truly amazed at what she can teach the totally un-trainable, that would be ME, to paint! I actually have hung several of my own paintings in my home. She must have painted on my canvas while I out of the studio taking a break!
