1
Prepare the Green Beans
Start by rinsing the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the beans, cutting off about 1 inch from each end.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans and blanch them for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
3
Make the Herb Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Combine and Serve
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans with the herb butter mixture. Toss well to ensure the beans are evenly coated. Adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve warm.
