As stated above, this recipe is really easy, but it is yummy. I've even eaten these cold as finger food at a picnic. Ingredients:
1 lb fresh green beans |
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil |
1 lemon, halved |
salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Toss green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and still crunchy.
2. Drain and shock in ice water to stop cooking.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Olive oil cooking spray works just as well, if you want to shave a few calories.
4. Add beans and saute for 1-2 minutes, until heated through. It's okay if some of the beans brown up a bit.
5. Transfer to serving dish.
6. Squeeze lemon halves over the beans and toss to coat.
7. Add salt to taste. (I omit this step).
