Ingredients

1 pound (450g) fresh green beans, stem ends snapped off

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 cup (60ml) water or stock

1 tablespoon butter or vegan butter

3 medium garlic cloves, minced, about 1 tablespoon

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Add oil to a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Cook for about 5 minutes until lightly blistered, tossing the beans around the pan so they cook evenly.

Pour in water (or stock). Cover the skillet (or use foil if needed) and cook for 2 minutes.

Uncover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the remaining liquid evaporates.

Stir in the butter, garlic, lemon zest, and pepper. Cook for another minute, stirring the garlic. Serve!
