Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound of fresh green beans, trimmed, and cleaned
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1/8 cup of olive oil
• Salt, and fresh black pepper

Directions:

Lightly blanch, or steam (preferred) the green beans. Sauté garlic in a medium sized pan, utilizing the olive oil. Once lightly brown on both sides, carefully add the green beans (as they are likely still wet). Flip/stir, season to taste. Serve hot.

Green beans should still have a snap to them. If they are soft, they are overcooked.
