Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, leaves only
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then transfer them immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper over the green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still vibrant green.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and the lemon juice. Toss to combine and ensure the green beans are evenly coated.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the green beans just before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grilled fish, or vegetarian entrees.
