Cooking method

Cooking time: 40 min

Step 1:

Wash the beans and trim off the ends. Cut them into pieces about 1/2 inch (1 cm) long. Cook them in salted water until soft — about 30 minutes over medium heat.
Step 2:

While the beans cook, peel and finely chop the garlic.
Step 3:

After 30 minutes, the beans should be soft. If not, cook them a bit longer until they are. Then add the butter, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (or 1 tablespoon of 5% vinegar). Cover and keep cooking.
Step 4:

Stir 30 g of flour (about 2 tablespoons) with 2 tablespoons of water until lump-free. Slowly and carefully whisk it into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like, stir in some finely chopped parsley or dill.
