Ingredients

2 servings

250 g / 8oz green beans (, trimmed (Note 1))
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ((or... butter!))
2 g arlic cloves (, finely minced (~ 2 tsp), do not use jar or garlic crusher (Note 2))
1/8 tsp salt
1 pinch black pepper

Steps

Blanch beans: Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add beans, cook for 4 minutes (they will turn bright green), drain, then rinse under cold tap water to cool. (There's really no need to shock in ice water). Shake off excess water.
Sauté: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add green beans and garlic. Toss (or stir!) for 2 minutes until the garlic is golden and crispy. Add salt and pepper, then toss.
Serve: Transfer beans to serving dish. Serve warm!
Prepare ahead: Blanch beans per step 1, cool and dry, store in fridge until required. When ready to serve, just toss with garlic. It's an instant on-demand side!
