A delightful twist on green beans, infused with aromatic spices and a zesty lemon finish.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using a good quality olive oil enhances the flavor of the dish.
Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the skillet and toast until they start to pop.
Be careful not to burn the seeds; stir constantly.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Chop the onion finely for even cooking.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir to coat them with the spices.
Trim the ends of the green beans for a cleaner presentation.
Cover the skillet and let the beans cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add a splash of water if the skillet becomes too dry.
Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook until the beans are tender and slightly browned.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the beans. Serve warm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
