Instructions

1

Blanch the Green Beans

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and blanch for 3 minutes until bright green and just slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

2

Saute the Garlic

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.

3

Toss and Finish

Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter. Season with salt and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the beans are heated through and lightly glossed. Serve hot.

Common mistakes

Skipping the blanching step, which results in unevenly cooked beans that are raw in the center
