Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh green beans
- 1 pound Red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the fresh green beans thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the red potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut them into small cubes, keeping the skins on for added nutrients.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves for added flavor.
Step 4
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it heat up. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the oil and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
Step 6
Add the green beans to the skillet, gently tossing them with the potatoes.
Step 7
Pour in the water, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the mixture to steam cook for about 10 minutes or until the green beans and potatoes are tender.
Step 8
Remove the lid and sprinkle the ground black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary over the vegetables, stirring to combine.
Step 9
Continue to cook uncovered for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing any remaining water to evaporate and the vegetables to caramelize slightly.
Step 10
Finish by sprinkling the lemon juice over the top, tossing again to distribute the flavor evenly.
Step 11
Remove from heat and serve warm as a healthy side dish.
