Sauteed Green beans with garlic and lemon zest

The following is a flavorful twist to this common side dish. This version is a variation of a recipe found on Food Network.



Ingredients:


2 lbs. green beans (the long kind)
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter (unsalted)
1 tbsp cracked pepper (a blend of peppercorns is nice)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon zest
salt to taste

Cooking instructions:


Cook beans as instructed. (I use frozen steamers and they work great for this recipe). Shock beans in ice water to stop cooking.

In saute pan, combine oil, butter, garlic, pepper. Saute garlic until tender. Add green beans. Turn beans until they are coated with oil. Cook 5 minutes. Add lemon zest. Serve.

Serves 6-8 people.
