Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 200 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Once the water is boiling, add the green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the beans are tender but still crisp.
Drain the green beans and immediately rinse them under cold water or place them in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream. Add the lemon juice, freshly chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and warmed through.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the sour cream sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are fully warmed and evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with extra fresh dill for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
