Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. green beans, ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instruction

  • Blanch green beans in a large pot of well salted boiling water until bright green in color and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
  • Meanwhile, combine butter and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. When the garlic begins to turn dark gold, remove it with a slotted spoon and discard. Stir the lemon juice and the blanched green beans into the butter. Continue to sauté until green beans are coated in the butter and heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
