Ingredients
Fresh ingredients
- 450 g fresh green beans
- 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 30 g grated parmesan cheese (⅓ cup)
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Place the green beans in a large pan of boiling water and boil them for 3 minutes. Drain the green beans in a colander.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until the butter starts to foam, then add the green beans, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the green beans, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
- Drizzle over the lemon juice and transfer to a serving plate, then sprinkle with parmesan before serving.
Notes
You can use frozen green beans. If you'd prefer to bake in the oven, place the green beans on a baking tray, drizzle on the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook in the oven at 200C/400F for 15 minutes. Add the garlic, toss together, and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the oven, drizzle on lemon juice, and sprinkle on parmesan before serving.
