Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh green beans
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp honey
- 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends by snapping or cutting them off.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Immediately transfer the blanched green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss them to coat with the garlic and olive oil.
Pour the honey mustard mixture over the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the green beans are evenly glazed and heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the green beans to a serving platter.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your main course and enjoy.
