How to cook green beans deliciously and quickly - the basic principles of cooking
In cooking, elastic, young pods are used, from which soups, scrambled eggs, stews, salads are prepared, or baked in the oven. Green beans are not consumed raw, boiled in boiling water and only then added to salads or used to prepare a side dish. The most useful way to make green beans is by steaming. It allows you to save maximum benefit.
