Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
Blanch the green beans by boiling them for 4–5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Immediately transfer the green beans to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for a few minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté it for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Stir well to coat them with the garlic and olive oil.
Season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the freshly chopped dill and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss well to combine.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
