1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 1/2 tablespoons butter |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a large skillet. Add beans; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes or until tender. Drain beans; pat dry. 2. Heat oil and butter in pan over medium heat. Add garlic, and sauté 30 seconds. Add beans, juice, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with parsley. |
