Recipe Summary Prep: 20 mins Total: 20 mins Yield: Serves 4 to 6 Ingredient Checklist
1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (2 tablespoons)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)
Directions Instructions Checklist
Step 1
Blanch green beans in a large pot of salted water until tender, 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large plate or rimmed baking sheet to cool.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until softened and just beginning to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add green beans and season generously with salt and pepper. When green beans are hot, toss in lemon slices and cook 1 minute over high. Check seasoning -- beans should be well-seasoned and bright but not too sour. Serve hot, or preferably at room temperature.
