Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans ends trimmed
• 2 tbsps. olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tbsps. minced fresh parsley
• 2 tsps. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. kosher or sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Put 2 inches of water into a medium sized pot(3-4 quart). Arrange beans in a steamer basket and set into the pot over the water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat to medium. Steam beans until bright green and tender(but not too soft), 6-8 minutes. Rinse beans under cold water to stop the cooking; then drain well. Transfer beans to a large bowl, toss with remaining ingredients, and serve.
