Green Beans with Dill

There are supermarket green beans, and then there are gorgeous varieties carefully raised by dedicated small-scale farmers. Once you taste the difference in flavor, the choice becomes clear. This Italian Roma variety is available right now at Eli’s farmstand at the Saturday Urban Harvest Farmers Market.
Pick up a bunch of dill from one of the other stands — herbs are at their peak right now — and make this simple green bean dish. Serve it warm as a side alongside a nice piece of fish, or toss it into a salad with lettuce, feta cheese and sliced peaches.
