String Beans Sauted in Butter

Take some tender string beans and parboil them in slightly salted water for a couple of minutes, drain them and place in a saucepan on a hot stove, adding a lump of butter and season with salt. Stir lightly with a wooden spoon, while cooking for three minutes. When done, add a little finely-chopped parsley, place on a hot dish, and serve.
