Green Beans with Lemon and Garlic {The only way we'll eat green beans}




Ingredients:
1 lb Green Beans
1 Tbl Extra-Virgin Olive oil
3 Tbl Butter
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbl Lemon Zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. Throw some salt into a large pot of water and bring to a boil
2. Throw the green beans in the water until bright green in color, and tender and crisp, 2 minutes
3. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water (this prevents it from cooking longer)
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the butter
5. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until fragrant
6. Next add the beans and continue to saute until coated in butter and heated through, 5 minutes
7. Add lemon zest and season with salt and pepper
