A delightful twist on classic green beans, enhanced with garlic butter and caramelized onions for a flavorful side dish.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the green beans.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until tender yet crisp, about 5 minutes.
Blanching the beans helps retain their vibrant green color.
Drain the green beans and set aside.
Shocking the beans in ice water can stop the cooking process and preserve their texture.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Combining butter and olive oil prevents the butter from burning.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Cooking the onions slowly brings out their natural sweetness.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Toss the cooked green beans in the skillet with the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tossing the beans in the skillet ensures they are evenly coated with the flavors.
Serve the green beans warm as a side dish.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for added flavor.
