Lemon-Garlic Green Beans Recipe
Lemon-Garlic Green Beans
- Photography by
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) grated lemon peel
- 2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, melted
- 1 lb (500 g) green beans
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) toasted slivered almonds (optional)
Preparation
Whisk lemon peel with lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend in butter. Reserve. Cut away stem ends from green beans and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) lengths. Blanch in a saucepan of boiling, salted water for about 5 minutes or until bright green but still crisp. Drain well and stir in butter mixture. Toss with slivered almonds, if using.
More Information
Tip: Mix green beans with wax beans for a more colourful side dish or substitute asparagus for beans for a more upscale presentation.
Note: If you are making this recipe ahead, reserve the lemon juice until the last moment since it will discolour the beans if left on for too long.
