Clean the beans. Chop the onions and garlic and fry them in a little butter or margarine. Add the beans and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and savory. Pour in some water and stew for 15 to 20 minutes with the pot closed.
Option 2, if the beans are not to be eaten immediately:
Clean the beans. Bring the water to the boil with a little salt. Put the beans with the savory in the boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes to freeze and 10 minutes to eat later without freezing. Then rinse in ice-cold water and freeze after cooling or refrigerate until ready to use.
They are then finished as in variant 1. For this, sauté the finely chopped onions and garlic in butter or margarine. Then add the beans with the savory and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
