Simple is best when it comes to fresh-from-the-farm green beans, and I gave this recipe a try today. Still hot and muggy here, and I didn't want to boil water to steam them, so I made them in a packet to grill alongside some chicken.
I laid out the trimmed green beans, poured over the olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and then zested the orange over top. I squeezed the juice from half the orange into the packet and then sealed it up tight.
I put it on the grill while it was preheating and left it on while the chicken cooked. They were the tiniest bit squeaky, probably could have used a few more minutes or maybe a head start in the microwave. Nice hint of orange, but not enough to overpower the flavor of the beans. Jake added a tiny drizzle of honey over his.
