Ingredients
- 500 g (18oz/ 3 cups) green beans top and tailed, slender
- ¼ tsp (good pinch) baking soda aka bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 6 cloves garlic finely chopped, minced
- 30 g (2 tbsp) dried breadcrumbs or Panko
- 15 g (1 tbsp) sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoon flat leaf parsley finely chopped
- 20 g (1½ tbsp) butter
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of unsalted water to the boil then turn down to simmer. Drop in the trimmed beans and cook uncovered with the bicarbonate of soda for about 4-8 minutes, depending on their size, until slightly crisp or al dente (soft but with a bite to one at taste).
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in the pan over low-medium heat. Add the garlic, breadcrumbs, sesame seeds and parsley. Cook and stir for up to 2 minutes until toasted.
- Drain the beans in a colander. Add the butter to the pan and, as soon as melted, toss in the green beans. Season with salt (fleur de sel) and pepper and toss in the glossy mixture until well coated.
Notes
- Serve immediately.
