Green bean casseroles are a traditional side dish for most holiday tables but can be enjoyed year round.

Before sautéing, frying, or stir-frying green beans, blanch them to brighten and set their color. Blanch by immersing the green beans in boiling water for only 2 minutes and then immerse in cold water immediately to stop the cooking process.

If you are not going to eat fresh green beans shortly after they are harvested, you can store them in a perforated bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not wash before storing.
