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.
