Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Trim the Beans

    Rinse the haricots verts under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the beans by snapping or cutting them off.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Beans

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the trimmed haricots verts and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Season

    Add the chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Continue to sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the beans are tender but still crisp.

  3. 5

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed beans. Toss to combine.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds and chopped parsley over the haricots verts before serving.
