Green Beans with Savoury 
This is another recipe from my mother, who remembers it from her childhood. It is also the favoured mode of preparation in traditional German cuisine. Savoury is ‘Bohnenkraut’ in German, literally, ‘Bean Herb’. 

green beans (allow a good handful per person as a side dish) 
per 4 servings: 
2 tsp. butter 
1 sm. onion 
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. dried savoury 
herb salt 

Trim and wash the beans. Cut in half, the longer ones in thirds. Mince the onion and sauté in the butter a few minutes until transparent in a small heavy pot. Add the green beans and the savoury. Add just a few tablespoons of water and steam until done over low heat. Just before they are al dente, add the herb salt and stir well. Re-lid and continue to steam.
