French Green Beans with Butter and Herbs

Ingredients

• 1 lb green beans (thin green beans haricot vert trimmed)
• 14 cup red onion (chopped fine)
• 3 tbsps butter
• 2 tbsps chopped parsley (fine)
• 2 tbsps thyme leaves (fresh)
• 2 tbsps tarragon (basil chopped fine)
• 2 tbsps chives (chopped fine)               
• salt
• pepper
• 1 wedge lemon 

Method

•  Bring a large pot of salty water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Boil the beans for 2 minutes. Plunge them into the ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Drain the beans and pat dry on a cloth or paper towel.
•  Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan. Cook the onions until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
•  Add the green beans and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
•  Add all the herbs and some salt and pepper and toss to combine. Cook for 1 minute more.
• Serve hot or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
