Steamed green beans served with a button of butter make for a perfectly acceptable side dish, but if you're looking to elevate the green bean to company-worthy status (with almost no more effort), here's your recipe. Just blanch the beans for a few minutes, toss with butter, chopped fresh dill and a grind or two of black pepper.

Steps:
- Fill a pot with water. Season with salt so that you can taste it. Bring to a boil.
- Plunge beans into water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until just tender but still quite firm. If you're using green beans, it will take a minute or so longer. Drain. Return beans to pot. Add butter, stir in 2 tablespoons dill and season with pepper.
- Stir and toss beans in pot over low heat, until butter is melted. Taste a bean and season with salt and more pepper, or dill, if desired.
