Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Equipment

  • bowl

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for about 5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. If you prefer softer beans, cook a few minutes longer.
  2. While the green beans cook, combine the coarse grain mustard, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth sauce.
  3. Drain the green beans well and immediately add them to the mustard butter sauce. Toss gently to coat all the beans evenly. Serve the dish immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and warm sauce.
