Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends of the beans using a sharp knife.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the green beans and cook them for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 6
Add the drained green beans to the skillet. Toss them with the garlic and oil to coat evenly. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Step 7
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Add lemon juice and give the beans a final toss.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked green beans to a serving dish and serve immediately.
