Boil the green beansHeat the water and beans to boiling in the skillet. When boiling, reduce the heat just enough so the water bubbles gently. Cover and cook about 5 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender when pierced with a fork. Larger, more mature beans will need to cook longer than young, or smaller beans. If necessary, drain off any excess water. |
