- Trim Beans
Trim the stem ends and tapered tips from the green beans, then rinse them well and keep them whole for the classic Polish table style. · 8 min

Add the trimmed beans and boil 6-8 minutes, stirring once, until tender but still bright and with a little bite. · 7 min
What to look for: Beans are bright green and bend slightly without collapsing.
- Drain Thoroughly
Drain the beans thoroughly in a colander, shaking off water so the buttered breadcrumbs cling instead of turning pasty. · 2 min
What to look for: Beans are glossy but no water pools underneath.
- Toast Breadcrumbs
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, add breadcrumbs, and stir 3-4 minutes until evenly golden and nutty. · 4 min
What to look for: Breadcrumbs are golden and evenly coated with butter.
- Coat Beans
Add the drained beans to the pan and toss gently until every bean is coated in the hot buttered breadcrumbs. · 1 min

- Serve Hot
Serve the fasolka szparagowa hot at once, with any golden crumbs from the pan spooned over the top. · 1 min
