My favorite vegetable recipe

Green Beans

From--Amy (in my Ward)

 Ingredients:

2 Tbs. Butter
6 Garlic Cloves Minced
2 tsp. Flour
½ tsp. Red Pepper Flakes (or less)
1 tsp. Fresh Thyme Leaves
1 ½ lbs. Fresh Green Beans
1 C. Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 Tbs. Lemon Juice
 

Instructions:

In a skillet, sauté butter and garlic over medium heat stirring constantly until garlic is golden; 3-5 minutes. 
Stir in flour, red pepper flakes and thyme. 

Toss in green beans.  Add broth and increase heat to medium high.  Cover and cook until beans are partially tender but still crisp at center, about 4-7 minutes. 

Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally until beans are tender and sauce has thickened slightly.  About 4 minutes. 

Remove from heat and add lemon juice and salt and pepper as desired.
