Notes
- To save time when cooking for a crowd or during the holidays, I blanch the beans, stop the cooking by dipping them in icy cold water, dry them well, and store them between paper towel sheets in the refrigerator. At serving time, please bring them back to room temperature and proceed with the recipe.
- Mince the garlic with your knife to retain all the flavor.
- Blanch your green beans. This will maintain their vibrant green color, allowing them to crisp up faster.
