Dottie's Green Beans with Garlic A couple of hours before cooking you can get the beans and garlic ready in the pot. When you steam the garlic along with the beans it makes for a very mild but rich garlic flavor. Serves 4 to 6 Recipe Ingredients: 1 lb green or yellow wax beans 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced ½ tsp salt 1 tbsp butter or extra-virgin olive oil Directions: Trim beans. Place in steaming basket set over pot of water (or place in saucepan filled 1 inch/2.5 cm deep with water); cover with garlic and sprinkle with salt. Steam on high heat until beans are tender-crisp, about 7 minutes. Drain and toss with butter.
