If you have a backyard garden or belong to a CSA, then it is possible that you might be up to your eyeballs in green beans right now. This recipe is really just a kicked up version of humble buttered beans, but the season is here for veggies that are anything but humble.

Try it once and I guarantee that it will become a staple at your house. Give it a go with other veggies too - zucchini, fresh sugar snap peas, carrots, squash, spinach, you really can't go wrong.
