4 cloves garlic, minced
2 red bell peppers, diced

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm green beans. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached.
  • Blanch the green beans. This helps to retain their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Season the green beans. Before cooking the beans, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Cook the green beans over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Stir the green beans frequently. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the green beans immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
