Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Green beans
- 2 large Celery stalks
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Onion (yellow or red)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Slice the celery stalks thinly on a diagonal.
Remove the seeds and ribs from the red bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips.
Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-moons.
Set up a steamer basket over a pot with about 1 inch of simmering water. Add the green beans to the basket, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the beans are tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the sliced onions, celery, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become slightly tender.
Add the steamed green beans to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice for a bright finish.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement any main course.
