lemon garlic green beans in a bag

I've had this saved away in my notes for AGES and we finally did it one Saturday morning after coming back from Portugal and it is so good and fun and the best snacky side.

Total Time: 15 minutes

ingredients

  • 2lb green beans

  • 1 large garlic clove

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • ¼ extra virgin olive oil, the good stuff

  • salt to taste

steps

  1. Blanch green beans in generously salted boiling water for a min or two

  2. Immediately move to ice bath to stop cooking then drain them

  3. Add a good amount of olive oil (use the good olive oils!)

  4. Garlic - grated right onto the beans

  5. Zest a lemon over it and add lemon juice

  6. Add salt

  7. Mix!
