SPRUCETREE18
"I had always been indifferent to green beans... until I tried this recipe, given to me by a friend. For such a simple dish, you will be surprised at how much flavor this has! Broccoli is equally delicious prepared this way."

I tried it with the broccoli. If you are doing broccoli though, it doesn't need 10 minutes. Six minutes will be fine; 10 minutes makes them soggy.

This was a great easy way to make vary green beens. As suggested by others, I added minced garlic to the oil and then a little soy sauce with the beens and it turned out great.
