Tips:

  • Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Blanch the green beans. This will help them retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Drain the peas and beans. Once the beans are cool, drain them well and pat them dry.
  • Make the garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Sauté the green beans and peas. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and peas and cook, stirring frequently, until they are heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic sauce. Pour the garlic sauce over the green beans and peas and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, or until the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve immediately. Garlicky green beans and peas are a delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses.
