Cooking Notes
Instead of boiling the string beans in 2 cups of water & transferring them, I just put 1/2 cup water in the preheated sauté pan brought to a quick boil, added the string beans & covered for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, I followed the recipe as written. Delicious!

When you remove the beans from the pot of water, use tongs or a slotted spoon. The water will fall away.
It doesn’t say to drain the beans
My copy says "drain". From the context, I assume it refers to the beans.
