Instructions

First, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When ready, drizzle in olive oil or grass-fed butter. Give the pan a whirl—ensuring that the bottom of the pan is fully greased.
Next, add the fresh green beans, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Then, add the garlic and mint. Continue to cook until slightly wilted and brown, about 5-7 minutes or until the desired texture is met.
Finally, transfer the cooked green beans to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced almonds and pomegranate seeds. Enjoy right away.
