A delightful side dish featuring fresh green beans sautéed with garlic and a splash of lemon juice for a vibrant flavor.
Bring a small amount of water to a boil in a nonstick skillet.
Use just enough water to steam the beans without submerging them completely.
Add the green beans and cook until tender-crisp.
Cover the skillet to trap steam and cook the beans evenly.
Drain the beans and set them aside.
Shake off excess water to prevent splattering when sautéing.
Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the garlic.
Add minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Return the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic oil.
Ensure the beans are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and sauté briefly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the green beans warm, garnished with a lemon wedge if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors at their peak.
