RECIPE

 

  
31. French Beans a la Francaise.
  Boil the beans in salt and water over a large fire, that
they may retain their colour. Drain them and lay them in
a stew-pan on the fire, to dry up all the water. When entirely
dry and quite hot, add to them a quarter of a pound of
fresh butter, a little pounded pepper and salt, and the juice
of a lemon; keep moving the stew-pan without using a spoon,
as that would break the beans. Serve hot.
