Yield: about 8 servings

• 2 pounds string beans
• salted water
• sprigs summer savory (about 1 teaspoon dried)
• 2 tablespoons butter or shortening
• 1 medium onion
• 2 to 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon superfine flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• bouillon cube

In a saucepan cook string beans and summer savory; add enough salted water to barely cover. In a separate pan, melt butter; brown onion and garlic. Stir in flour; add sugar and vinegar. Slowly stir in water from the cooked beans (about 1 cup) to make sauce. Add bouillon cube and drained beans; save extra water to thin the sauce if needed.
