A recipe I really liked based on one from JoAnna Lund's Cooking Healthy with Splenda. So, you can substitute Splenda back in if you so desire. JoAnna's hint: "Thaw green beans by placing in a colander and rinsing under hot water for 1 minute."

Tips:

  • Select young, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans properly: Remove the tough ends of the green beans by snapping them off. You can also use a sharp knife to trim them.
  • Use small potatoes for even cooking: If you are using whole potatoes, choose small ones so that they cook evenly with the green beans.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder are all great options.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: The green beans and potatoes should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Creamy green beans and potatoes are best served hot and fresh. They can be garnished with chopped parsley or chives.
