How to Make Acadia's French Green Beans

  1. Mince 2 tablespoons of fresh dill and 1 tablespoon of fresh chives.
  2. Bring 2 cups of vegetable stock to a boil in a saucepan. Add 1 pound of trimmed French green beans and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp but still retain a slight bite.
  4. Carefully remove the beans from the stock using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl.
  5. Gently toss the beans with the minced dill and chives.
  6. Cover the bowl tightly and let the beans sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving.
