Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional for serving)
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off both ends using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
Bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
Blanch the green beans by adding them to the boiling water and cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp.
Immediately transfer the blanched green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain the water and pat the beans dry with a kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic (use a garlic press or mince finely), salt, and black pepper to create the honey mustard glaze.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans to the skillet and pour the honey mustard glaze over them.
Toss the beans in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated and warmed through.
Optional: Drizzle with a teaspoon of lemon juice before serving for a bright, zesty note.
Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy your Honey Mustard Green Beans while warm.
