Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 500 grams small red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the green beans and trim the ends. Cut the beans into 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters. If they are larger, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the quartered potatoes into the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are tender, add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 7
Add the green beans and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 10 minutes until the green beans are tender yet still vibrant.
Step 9
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow most of the broth to evaporate.
Step 10
Sprinkle the lemon juice over the cooked green beans and potatoes, then gently toss to combine.
Step 11
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 12
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light main course.
