Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups ice
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the green beans and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender.
Step 3
Immediately drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Step 5
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Stir in the maple syrup and soy sauce, mixing well to combine.
Step 7
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss them in the maple glaze. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beans are fully coated and heated through.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the maple glazed green beans to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
