Like most, I omitted the olives, but it was a tasty & easy side dish. Nice alternative to just plan green beans with butter!

Fantastic! We absolutely loved it. My bf is a big green bean fan, but I'm not. I wanted to try something fun that would make both of us more receptive to trying new veggies as a side dish with dinner. This hit the spot! The garlic sauteed up crispy and mild in flavor and added a perfect compliment to the butter and oregano. We omitted the olives, but it's still delicious. We'll definitely make this one again.

This recipe is great. A wonderful bonus was that my 5 year old son got to help me prepare the fresh green benns. Also my husband hates veggies but he went back for seconds.
