Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons dry sherry wine
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off the stem ends. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the trimmed green beans and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they start to soften and develop light char marks.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.

Step 5

Pour in the sherry wine and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly and the green beans to become tender-crisp.

Step 6

Season the green beans with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the green beans with lemon zest for a burst of freshness (optional).

Step 8

Transfer the green beans to a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy!
