Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams green beans
- 150 grams baby corn
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are very long.
Rinse and drain the baby corn, then cut them in half lengthwise if preferred.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and let it heat up over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the green beans and baby corn to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the garlic-infused oil.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the vegetables steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid, season the vegetables with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.
Drizzle in the lemon juice and toss the vegetables to coat evenly.
Add the toasted pine nuts and give the dish a final toss.
Transfer the green beans and baby corn to a serving platter. Serve warm as a side dish to complement your main course.
