This is a delicious lemony, fried green bean recipe. I found it while shopping one Saturday at the local produce market. Ingredients:
1 pinch white sugar |
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 lemon, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat: add sugar, and beans. Cook until beans are bright green and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, and place in a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking.
2. Combine the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter melts. Stir in the garlic; cook until pale beige and fragrant. Stir in the beans; cook until wilted, and garlic is dark brown, about 4 minutes. Toss beans with parsley and lemon zest, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer beans to a serving dish, and garnish with lemon wedges.
