Green Beans with Celery-Salt Butter

These vibrant green beans with celery-salt butter offer a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetable side dish. The addition of celery salt provides a subtle, savoury depth that elevates the natural sweetness of the beans, making them an excellent accompaniment to a Sunday roast or a midweek main. By boiling the beans until they are just tender-crisp, you maintain both their bright green colour and a pleasant texture.

This simple vegetarian recipe is incredibly quick to prepare, requiring just three main ingredients and less than ten minutes on the hob. It is an ideal choice for home cooks looking for a healthy, gluten-free side that doesn't compromise on flavour. For the best results, serve these buttered beans immediately alongside grilled chicken, fish, or a nut roast to enjoy the aromatic, melted butter at its peak.
