Categories     quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 pounds green beans or snow peas, trimmed
3 lemons
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it (for this, the same water may be used as that in which the potatoes have been blanched); add the beans, and cook until they are just bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the beans, then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water, to stop the cooking. When they're cool, drain them again. Zest the lemons, and julienne or mince the zest. Juice the lemons.
  • To serve, place the oil in a large skillet, and turn the heat to medium high. Add the beans, and cook, tossing or stirring, until they are hot and glazed with the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the beans in a serving bowl with the lemon juice, top with the zest, and then serve.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The green beans were cooked well, but the lemon-herb butter was a bit too oily for my taste.

These green beans were a disappointment. They were mushy and lacked flavor.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had some green beans that I needed to use up and this was the perfect way to do it.

These green beans were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more herbs next time.
