2 medium onions, sliced |
3 chopped fresh garlic cloves (or to taste, i use about 2 tablespoons, chopped not minced!) |

Directions:
1. Rinse the beans with cold water and trim off ends.
2. In medium saucepan, steam the beans (tightly covered) in about 1/4 cup water until tender, about 5 minutes; remove from water to drain well, and set aside (I pat them dry with paper towels).
