GARLICKY GREEN BEANS
I make this often with my summer's crop of green and yellow beans ---for this recipe I really don't bother to measure so really the exact amounts do not matter, however I have posted the amounts that I I think is pretty much close to what I use --- I usually have my beans already steamed and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use for this recipe, do not make this using uncooked raw beans they must be cooked firstly, prep time does not include pre-steaming the beans or peeling the garlic cloves.

Tips:
- Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans are more flavorful and tender than frozen or canned beans.
- Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking to remove any tough or woody parts.

- Add the garlic at the end of cooking: Adding the garlic at the end of cooking will prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.
- Season the green beans to taste: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
