Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans (trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 50 grams toasted almonds (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of sea salt.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans and stir well to distribute the flavor.
Season with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if desired.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the toasted almonds and fresh parsley over the green beans for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light main course with crusty bread or rice.
