Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 30 grams fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the trimmed green beans to the boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic oil.
Add the chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Toss everything together until the green beans are evenly coated.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just to warm the green beans through.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature.
