Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 60 ml water
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, discarding the seeds and membrane.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but do not let it brown.
Add the green beans and red pepper strips to the skillet. Stir well to coat them with the garlic and oil.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the vegetables to steam for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Continue to sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until the moisture evaporates and the vegetables start to char slightly for an additional 5 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
Serve immediately as a side dish or main course accompaniment.
