Salt
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 Onion; minced
2 Cloves garlic; minced or

transfer to a bowl of cold water. Using your thumbnail to slit the outer

Heat the oil in a casserole or covered skillet and saute the onion over
mediumlow heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Add the garlic, beans, and
lettuce, cover and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the wine,
cover, and cook 10 minutes or until the beans are tender. Season to taste
with salt and pepper and serve.
