Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb fresh green beans (trimmed)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (for serving)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for about 3 minutes until vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil. Add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the blanched green beans, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle Parmesan on top. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can make-ahead by pre-cooking the beans and sautéing just before serving. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or toss in almonds for crunch. Substitute balsamic vinegar for an interesting twist!
