Ingredients

400 g green beans
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves
salt and pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and blanch for 3 minutes until bright green and just crisp-tender.
2
Drain the beans and, if you want them extra-vibrant, plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking, then drain again. (Skip this if going straight to the pan.)
3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook 30-60 seconds until fragrant and pale gold — don't let it brown or it turns bitter.
4
Add the beans and toss in the garlicky oil for 2-3 minutes until heated through and a little blistered.
5
Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon if you like. Serve hot.
