Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Beans

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  4. 4

    Combine and Season

    Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon

    Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss again and serve hot.
