Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 10 to 15 seconds. Add the green beans and sear while stirring for one minute.

2. Pour in the water and 2 tablespoons of the sweet vermouth. Immediately cover. Steam for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender.

3. Remove the lid, add the remaining vermouth and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, tossing until the water evaporates and the vermouth has glazed the beans.
