ChefXi OfficialCrisp-tender green beans sautéed simply with fresh garlic and a touch of butter. The perfect vibrant side to any hearty meal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain well.
Blanching keeps the beans vibrant and ensures they aren't raw in the middle after sautéing.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and just starting to turn golden (do not burn!).
Add the drained green beans to the skillet. Toss well to coat in the garlic butter and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
