Ingredients
- 1/2 pound green beans blanched for about 4 minutes
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- Zest of 2 lemons (1 to 2 tablespoons) finely grated
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Fill a bowl halfway with ice water. Bring a pot or large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook just until bright green and tender but not at all mushy, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the green beans.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to dip the beans into the ice water just long enough to stop the cooking. Drain the beans and pat them dry. (You can set the green beans aside at room temperature for an hour or so prior to serving.)
- In a medium bowl, stir together the parsley, lemon zest, olive oil, and garlic.
- Just before serving, toss the green beans into the bowl with the gremolata mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Originally published November 14, 2017.
