Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim the Green Beans

    Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water. Using a sharp knife, trim off the stem ends of each green bean.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic

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

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked green beans to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
