Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • ¼ lb green beans trimmed
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic minced
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a small saucepan of salted water over high heat until boiling. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 1 1/2- 2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse the green beans in a bowl of ice water; drain and set aside.
    Side Note: The ice water will stop the cooking process and will help the green beans maintain their beautiful green color.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the green beans and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Toss the green beans until evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy.
