Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 6 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the green beans and trim the ends. Cut them into 2-inch pieces if they are very long.
Rinse the green onions and remove any wilted parts. Cut them into 1/2-inch pieces, separating the white and green parts.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the green beans and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Stir well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the green beans steam for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and add the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
Stir in the green parts of the onions, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Sauté for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve warm.
