Every Night Green Beans

From The Boston Globe Magazine, Sheryl Julian and Julie Riven, 2004 September 19.

Serves 4.

1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons water
Salt, to taste
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper

In a large saucepan, combine the green beans, oil, water, salt, and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat, turning the beans often, for 8 to 12 minutes or until the beans are still bright green but tender. Remove from the pan and serve at once.

Notes: Haven't tried it yet.

So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage leaf to make an apple pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street pops its head into the shop. "What! no soap?" So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber; and there were present the Picninnies, and the Grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top, and they all fell to playing the game of catch as catch can, till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.
