Green Beans with Balsamic Butter

(From Our Best Bites)

2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup salted butter
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 green onions, chopped (whites and greens)
2 cloves garlic, minced

Combine the onions, garlic, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Cook on medium, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes - until most of the vinegar is reduced into a thick syrup and has been absorbed by the green onions. Remove from heat and set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add butter to the vinegar mixture - combine and set aside.

When water boils, add green beans. Cook for 3-5 minutes - until beans are crisp-tender. Drain and toss with the balsamic butter sauce. Serve immediately.

Serves 8.
