Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups ice
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the green beans and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender.
Immediately drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the maple syrup and soy sauce, mixing well to combine.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss them in the maple glaze. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beans are fully coated and heated through.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the maple glazed green beans to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
