Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 lb 500 g green beans, ends trimmed
  • Good pinch of coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • Cracked black pepper, to season
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  • Combine beans and water together with a good pinch of salt (about 3/4 teaspoon). Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Drain beans and set aside.
  • Heat oil and butter together in the same pan. When butter has melted, sauté the green beans, moving them around in the pan to coat in the oil/butter mixture (about 1 minute). Add the garlic, another pinch of salt, and pepper and sauté until garlic is fragrant (30 seconds).
  • Immediately take off the heat, squeeze over lemon juice through, mix through and serve.
