Simply Spiced String/ Green Beans

Directions

1. 1
   Wash and trim the string beans.
2. 2
   I usually start out with more string beans than the 3 pounds called for in the recipe since I eat a lot raw and not all of them make it into the pot.
3. 3
   Combine with all the other ingredients in a 3 quart pot and mix.
4. 4
   Cook, covered on a small flame for 30 minutes.
5. 5
   Drain.
6. 6
   Serve warm or chilled.
