These beans are big on flavour! Serve them with grilled chicken or fish for a side dish with a lot of wow-power.

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Garlic

2 clove(s), large, minced

Ginger root

1 tbsp(s), fresh, minced

String beans

3 cup(s), fresh or frozen and thawed

Fresh lemon juice

Table salt

⅛ tsp(s), or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ pinch(es), freshly ground, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium or medium-low heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute. Add string beans and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and 2 teaspoons zest; cover and steam until string beans are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
