Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 240 grams sweet corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Cut them into 2-inch pieces, if desired.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the green beans, cover, and steam for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is shimmering.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the steamed green beans and sweet corn kernels to the skillet. Toss to coat the vegetables in the butter and oil mixture.
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender and the corn is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the vegetables.
Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy!
