This how my mom always made green beans. She got the recipe from a neighbor when we lived in Turkey. Make a double batch, as they make an excellent healthy snack straight from the fridge. Add a thinly sliced onion and red bell pepper if you like. You can also make them ahead and add to a salad. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho
