Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Green Beans

Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.

2

Cook the Green Beans

In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

3

Sauté Garlic

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

4

Add Spices

Stir in red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Let cook for another minute.

5

Combine and Finish

Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss well to coat in the garlic and spices. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
