Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • 1 Propane Stove

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Green Beans washed and trimmed
  • 1 Lemon
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 cuptbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Red Pepper Flakes for a hint of heat
  • Slivered or Sliced Almonds for flavor and texture

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Green Beans: Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. If you prefer a more tender texture, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes aromatic. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
  • Cook the Green Beans: Add the prepared green beans to the skillet. Stir well to coat the beans evenly with the garlic-infused oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the green beans are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  • Add Lemon Zest and Juice: Sprinkle lemon zest over the green beans for a burst of citrus flavor. Squeeze the lemon juice of one lemon over the beans, stirring to combine. Begin with half the lemon for flavor, and add more based on preferences.
  • Seasoning: Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add optional toppings: For an extra kick of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes. If you’re searching for a little more crunch, sprinkle the sliced or silvered almonds for some extra texture and flavor
