Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

Mustard Butter Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon natural mustard (Dijon or whole grain can be used)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Trim the ends of fresh green beans and rinse under cool water. Blanch in boiling salted water for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender, then immediately plunge them into ice water to preserve their bright color and crunch.
  2. Make the Mustard Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt plant-based butter and gently sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add natural mustard, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir together until a creamy sauce forms.
  3. Combine and Toss: Drain green beans thoroughly and add them to the sauce. Toss well to coat each bean evenly with the mustard butter sauce. Warm together for another minute to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the sauced green beans to a serving dish. Garnish if desired with fresh herbs or toasted nuts, then serve warm and enjoy the fresh, tangy flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not skip the ice bath to keep beans crisp and vibrant.
  • Taste the sauce as you go to balance mustard’s sharpness with creaminess.
  • Cook garlic gently on low heat to prevent bitterness.
  • Serve the dish warm to experience the brightest flavors.
