Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g fresh green beans
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, and let the butter melt completely.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the butter-garlic mixture.
Sprinkle the green beans with salt and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the seasonings.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the green beans over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate. If desired, drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh, tangy flavor.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if preferred. Serve immediately and enjoy!
