Lemony Green Beans

 

1 pound small green beans

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 shallot, pealed and finely chopped

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

 

Fill saucepan three-fourths full of water, place over

medium-high heat and bring to boil. Add the beans and

cook until tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the

beans and rinse in colander with cool water to stop

the cooking process and preserve the color. Drain

again.

 

 

In frying pan, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add

beans, stir well to coat with oil, and raise the heat

to high. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the beans

are lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic,

shallot, parsley and lemon juice, and saute 30 seconds

to 1 minute. Remove from heat, add salt, and stir to

mix well. Serve warm.

 

 

Serves 4.
