Ingredients
Scale
- 450g (1lb) green beans
- 1 large onion
- 2–3 garlic cloves, pressed
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- salt and black pepper to taste
- olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- First prepare green beans. Trim the ends and chop into approximately 1-inch pieces. If your green beans are not young enough you might want to blanch them before sautéing.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut onion in half and thinly slice it. Sauté onion until it’s soft for about 7 minutes stirring frequently. Sprinkle with a bit of salt while cooking.
- Add green beans and cook for 10 minutes. Stir from time to time so it will cook through evenly.
- Then add garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes. Finally add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything and switch off the heat.
Notes
For less sharp flavor add garlic BEFORE you add green beans.
