The combination of tender, sweet green beans and the tartness of chèvre makes this side dish a nice complement to most main dishes. And it adds color to the plate. Ingredients:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
sea salt, to taste |
freshly ground pepper, to taste |
2 ounces chèvre (goat cheese), crumbled (about 1/2 cup crumbled) |
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped |
Directions:
1. Cook green beans in boiling salted water 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Plunge into ice water to stop cooking process; drain.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add olive oil. Sauté green beans and garlic 5 minutes. Add sea salt and pepper. Sprinkle chèvre and chives on top, and serve warm.
