Creamy Mustard Tossed Green Beans - green beans

Method

• Place a steamer insert in a large pot and add enough water to reach just below the insert.
• Place the pot over high heat, cover with a lid, and bring the water to a boil.
• Add the green beans and re-cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly ajar.
• Steam the beans for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender.
• Drain them well.
• Meanwhile, mix the mustard and sour cream in a small bowl until well combined.
• Transfer the beans to a large glass or plastic serving bowl and add the mustard mixture.
• Toss well to coat.
• Season with salt and pepper.

• Cover the dish with a microwave-safe plate.
• Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the beans are crisp-tender.
