– Green Bean Casserole. This week,
before the Thanksgiving holiday, I decided to post another green bean recipe
for people who just can’t fall in love with the green bean casserole. I found this recipe after a few failed
attempts. I must say it is my favorite
recipe. I could not stop eating them. Now how many times can you say that you have been
unable to stop eating green beans?
There are a couple of things that I like about this recipe – it can be
partially prepared ahead of time and it is cooked completely on the
stovetop. It is quick and simple.
Green Beans with Lemon and Garlic
Serves 6.
Ingredients:
1½ pounds green beans, trimmed
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1½ Tablespoons olive oil
1½ Tablespoons butter
1 clove of garlic
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
Directions:
1. Fill a
Dutch oven about half full of water and bring to a boil. Add green beans; cover, reduce heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until
tender. Drain beans.
2. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium
heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1
minute. Add beans, juice, salt, and
pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until
thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with
parsley.
Note: If desired green beans can be cooked ahead of time and sautéed just before serving.
