Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic Recipe
Description
The Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic Recipe focuses on fresh green beans trimmed and cooked in olive oil over high heat. The technique promotes a tender bean with occasional blistered and blackened spots, contributing a rustic charred note. Adding very finely minced garlic at the end gives a subtle but distinct garlic presence without overwhelming the beans. The sea salt finishes the dish, balancing the mild bitterness of the charred skin with savory seasoning.
The cooking method is straightforward: a quick sauté in a hot pan ensures the beans maintain some firmness while acquiring a tender texture. This side dish pairs well with pan-seared meats or as a light vegetable accompaniment to a main course.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb green beans trimmed
- 3 cloves garlic very finely minced
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over high heat. When it's hot, add the oil and green beans. Cook the green beans, tossing occasionally, until soft and starting to blister and turn black in a few spots, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the pan and cook the beans for 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat and toss with the sea salt.
