BUTTERED GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON ZEST

Haricots Verts Beurrés au Zeste de Citron

Source: The Gilded Table – February Edition

Tender green beans tossed with butter, black pepper, and bright lemon zest, styled on a neutral platter in a moody winter setting. — *Simple, bright, and buttery — a clean little contrast for richer plates.*

Buttered Green Beans with Lemon Zest are tender green beans finished simply with butter, freshly cracked black pepper, and bright lemon zest.

Understated and elegant, this side brings clarity to the table — a gentle, citrusy counterpoint to creamy sauces, baked cheeses, and slow winter dinners.

Notes ✨
Salt the water well — it seasons the beans from the inside out.
Cook just until bright green and tender-crisp, then drain thoroughly.
Toss with butter while warm so it melts into a glossy coat.
Add lemon zest last for the freshest aroma (a squeeze of juice is optional).
