Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly under cold running water and trim the ends.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Immediately drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Sauté the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are heated through and coated with the garlicky butter.
Add the lemon juice and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the green beans and cook for another minute until the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
