Tips:
- Choose the freshest green beans possible. Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans before cooking. Cut off the ends of the beans and any strings that are attached.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked green beans will be mushy and tasteless.
- Use good-quality butter for the dill butter. The butter should be unsalted and at room temperature.
- Finely chop the dill. This will help the dill flavor to evenly distribute throughout the butter.
- Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the green beans immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh from the pan.
Conclusion:
French cut green beans with dill butter is a classic French side dish that is both delicious and easy to make. The green beans are cooked until tender and then tossed in a flavorful dill butter sauce. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
