Notes
- This recipe works with any fresh string beans, including traditional green beans, baby green beans (haricot vert), wax beans or romano beans. I used haricot vert green beans in these photos, which can be found in bags in the produce area of most grocery stores.
- Make sure to buy beans that are bright green. Avoid beans that look crushed or slimy.
- You can use whole green beans or cut them into 1 inch pieces. The smaller pieces cook quicker but aren't quite as elegant looking!
- Add the garlic towards the very end of the cooking time so that it doesn’t burn.
