Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Slice the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and ribs, and cut into thin strips.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the green beans and red pepper strips to the skillet.
Sauté the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp and the red peppers are softened.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring to ensure the beans and peppers are well-coated with the seasonings.
Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed green beans and red peppers to a serving platter.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your main course.
