Trim ends from green beans and thinly slice using a green bean cutting tool, kitchen shredding knife, knife or food processor fitted with a shredding blade.

Place beans in a large skillet with water, wine, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Bring a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for ten minutes; drain.

Toss with butter and check the salt and pepper, then toss again with crispy fried onions (Durkee/French's type).
