Garlicky Green Beans

Ingredients

• 1 Lb Green Beans, trimmed
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4-6 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt, pepper
• Red Chili flakes (optional)

Process

1. Bring 5 cups of water to a rolling boil in a 2 qt pot
2. Blanche the green beans by placing them in the boiling water for 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness).
3. Drain the green beans and quickly rinse in very cold water to halt the cooking process
4. Heat olive oil in a sautée pan. Add beans, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes (if desired), covering the beans in oil. Cook for 2-5 minutes until beans are warmed through but not yet wilted

Tips:

• Purchased pre-trimmed beans to save time trimming
