Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the green beans.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Green Beans

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Green Beans

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the blanched green beans to the skillet.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Sprinkle the cooked green beans with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.
