Green beans are a versatile vegetable that can be prepared in many ways. They work well as a side dish or as an ingredient in more complex recipes.

To prepare these green beans, you can drain them and then heat them gently. They can be warmed on the stovetop with a little butter or oil, or they can be added directly to dishes that are already cooking, such as stews or soups.

They are a convenient addition to weeknight meals.
