Green Beans with Lemon and Peppers

I was introduced to this recipe when at the beach.  With beans and peppers just coming into season most places, this is a great recipe to use that fresh, local produce.  At Christmas, use red peppers to make a festive holiday dish.

  1 Cup Yellow Bell Peppers, Chopped            1/2 Tsp Salt

  1 Cup Yellow Bell Peppers, Sliced                1/4 Tsp Pepper

  7 Tsp Butter                                                1 1/2 Lb Green Beans

  1 Tbl Lemon Juice                                        

Saute chopped pepper with 1 Tbl butter until tender.  Place remaining butter, salt, pepper and lemon juice in a food processor.  Add sauteed peppers and blend until smooth.  Boil beans and sliced peppers 5 to 7 minutes and drain.  Toss with butter mixture.
