Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans, trimmed
- 500 grams baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 ml water
Instructions
1. In a large pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
2. Add the halved baby potatoes to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
3. While the potatoes cook, steam the green beans. Place them in a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water and cover. Steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the garlic oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the edges to crisp slightly.
6. Add the steamed green beans to the skillet and gently combine with the potatoes.
7. Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the dish with the freshly squeezed lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss lightly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
8. Serve warm as a delicious and healthy side dish. Enjoy!
