Equipment
- Large cast iron skillet or whatever 12-inch skillet you have
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 pound onion - if using large onions, chop them coarsely. Pearl onions work nicely, whole or cut in half.
- 1 pound green beans
- 1 tablespoon dill chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat oil and sugar together in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and sauté until tender and golden brown, stirring often, about 30 minutes.
- Turn heat up to medium-high. When pan is hot, add green beans and continue cooking until the beans are crisp-tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in dill, salt, and pepper.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
*A note about dill - Stirring the fresh dill in after cooking preserves its flavor. Heating decreases the flavor of the dill.
