Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons water
- 1 pound fresh green beans cleaned and trimmed
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- freshly ground salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the water in a medium lidded skillet over medium high heat on the stove. Add in the green beans.
- Steam the beans until the water has evaporated, turning to cook all sides. This will only take a couple of minutes, your pan needs to be hot enough that the water evaporates within a couple of minutes.
- Melt the butter in the pan with the beans. Fry the beans, stirring, until they are tender-crisp. Add in the garlic and cook for another two minutes or until the beans are softened and the garlic is browned.
- Sprinkle the lemon juice over top of the beans in the skillet and toss to coat. Remove and plate.
