Green Bean Bundles:
1 handful fresh green beans, snapped and washed.
4-6 carrot rounds
3 TB butter
dried tarragon
garlic pwd

1. Take slices of fresh carrot (as large at the top as you can), use a miniature circle or flower shaped cookie cutter to remove the center. (I use a flower shape because it holds the beans better).

2. Boil beans for 10 minutes, adding carrot rounds in the last 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

3. Gather up the beans by twos and slide them into the carrot centers. Place bundles in glass pan.

4. Melt butter and mix in tarragon and garlic to taste. Pour or spoon evenly over bean bundles.

5. Place in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.
