Incredible Green Beans with Feta & Dill

This is an easy and incredibly delicious Green Bean side dish. So good you could probably eat it as a whole meal, I know I have.
Butter, White Wine and Lemon Juice add richness and added acidity. Plus caramelizing the Onion adds such a wonderful sweetness to balance out the Lemon Juice and White Wine.
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do.
