LEMON-BROILED GREEN BEANS


I selected this recipe to prepare as a contribution to a local Christmas Eve dinner for the homeless.  Fresh green beans are perfect for small helping hands to help out by snapping off the ends of each bean.  The beans were broiled until blistering with olive oil sea salt, and freshly squeezed lemon.  While it is tempting to use lemon juice from a bottle, I highly recommend the fresh approach if for no other reason than the accompanying aromatherapy after grinding the lemon rind in the garbage disposal.  The finished Lemon-Broiled Green Beans product was pleasingly tasty, so much so I had to roast some brussel sprouts to send to the dinner along with the green beans that remained after the girls had more than several quality-control tastes.
