Method
- Wash the green beans, trim the ends and strings and cut them into 4 cm pieces.
- Boil them in water with half the salt for 5 to 6 minutes, until tender but still with some bite. Drain.
- In a frying pan, warm the olive oil with the sliced garlic over medium heat for 1 minute, until the garlic starts to colour.
- Add the green beans and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper and serve.
Shopping tip
Fresh loose green beans are best; frozen ones also work and skip the boiling (straight into the pan: sauté for 6 to 8 minutes).
