Green Beans with Artichokes and Capers is a simple, stove-top side dish for any great meal. Whether it's grilling season or the holidays, these beans are simple and flavorful.
For many people, being called fast and easy has an unwelcome connotation. Not for me, I love the description. Is 10 minutes too fast for you? I’m talking about cooking dinner people! Geez!
Like a respectable lady, I know how to make it fast and super easy, when it comes to whipping up a side dish. Especially for Thanksgiving, this stove-top-only side dish is quite perfect. It only takes 10 minutes, including the measuring, chopping and cooking.

Can this be made several hrs earlier, left in skillet covered and then reheat on low when needed?
Or will beans lose color and shrivel up???

This side dish is so delicious and fresh! Add it to rice and it can be a meal all on it's own. You don't even need meat! I also love the tartness from the capers!
