Simple Boiled Haricot Beans

A basic recipe for boiling dried haricot beans until tender, enhanced with onions and herbs.

Instructions

1Shell the fresh haricot beans. If using canned, drain and rinse them thoroughly.
2Melt the butter in a stew-pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the haricot beans, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the beans with the butter and garlic.
3Reduce the heat to low, cover the stew-pan, and let the beans stew gently in the butter until they are tender. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on the freshness and size of the beans. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4Once the beans are tender, stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a side dish.
