Braised Green Beans With Lemon

I made this recipe for dîner en blanc, because it is great served cold or hot. the veggies are layered in a dutch oven and cooked without stirring until the beans are soft and tender.

Steps

Wash the beans , break off both ends , and break them in half.
Mix the herbs and garlic together.
In a dutch oven , layer 1 cup of onions on the bottom of the pan , top with beans , then herb mix , season with salt and freshly ground black pepper , and drizzle with 1 / 2 of the olive oil.
Finish with the remaining cup of onions before drizzling with the last 1 / 2 of olive oil.
Cover and cook over medium high heat until the pan lid is hot.
As soon as the lid is hot , turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 / 2 hour , or until the beans are very soft and tender.
Stir in 1 / 8 cup lemon juice.
Taste and add more lemon juice , salt , or freshly ground black pepper , as needed.
