Ingredients
- 500 grams Green beans
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 60 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and slice the red onion into thin strips.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced red onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions begin to soften and caramelize slightly.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 7
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to combine with the onions and garlic.
Step 8
Pour the water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and allow the beans to steam for 5-6 minutes until they are bright green and tender but still crisp.
Step 9
Remove the lid, season with salt and black pepper, and stir well.
Step 10
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, letting the excess water evaporate and the green beans develop a slight sear.
Step 11
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
