                                                salt & freshly ground black pepper  |  
                                                1 lemon, juice of  |  
                                                1/2 cup oil-cured black olive  |

Add the beans and salt and pepper to taste; toss gently. 4. Cook over low heat until the beans are warm and have absorbed the flavors of the olive oil, about 5 mins. 5. Remove from the heat, add lemon juice and toss gently. 6. Arrange beans on a platter and surround with olives. 7. Serve immediately. 8.
