Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 60 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Step 2
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, discarding the seeds and membrane.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but do not let it brown.
Step 6
Add the green beans and red pepper strips to the skillet. Stir well to coat them with the garlic and oil.

Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the vegetables to steam for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
