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.

Instead of broiling the garlic, you can also char cloves one at a time over the flame of a gas stove, holding and turning with tongs, until blackened and blistering, about 30 seconds to 1 minute each. The beans make a delectable side for Shrimp and Clams a la Plancha.

PRESSURE COOKER GARLICKY BEANS WITH BROCCOLI RABE
This white bean dish isn't shy when it comes to garlic. It's used in the pot along with the simmering beans, and also fried in olive oil as a crunchy, pungent garnish. As a contrast, the broccoli rabe and red onion get very sweet when you sauté them slowly until they are browned and caramelized. Alongside the soft, mild white beans, it's a satisfying and comforting dish with a garlicky kick. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017).

Steps:
- In the pressure cooker, combine the beans, 7 cups of water, the 4 smashed garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Tie the rosemary, bay leaf, and carrot together with kitchen twine, and then drop the bundle into the pressure cooker. Cover, and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally. If the beans aren't done, cook on high pressure for another 5 minutes, then manually release the pressure.
- While the beans are cooking, heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the sliced garlic and a pinch of salt, and sauté until the garlic is just starting to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the garlic oil to a small bowl and reserve for the garnish.
- Return the skillet to the stove, raise the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in the onion and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and stir in the broccoli rabe, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the red pepper flakes, tossing to coat with the oil. Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet, and cook until the water has been absorbed and the broccoli rabe is softened and browned, about 10 minutes (drizzle in more oil as necessary to prevent sticking).
- To serve, remove the herb bundle from the bean pot and then drain the beans, reserving the liquid if you like (use it like stock). Place the beans in a shallow bowl or on a platter. Drizzle the beans with the garlic oil, and top with the broccoli rabe.

Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Different beans have different flavors and textures, so choose the one that best suits your dish. For example, kidney beans are great for chili, while black beans are perfect for tacos.
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. It also helps to remove some of the gas-producing compounds, making them easier to digest.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid is a great way to add flavor to the beans. Use a broth or stock instead of water, or add some herbs, spices, or vegetables to the pot.
- Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans are mushy and bland. Cook them until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
- Season the beans well: Beans are a blank canvas for flavor, so don't be afraid to season them well. Add some salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and any other spices or herbs you like.
Conclusion:
Garlicky beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great source of protein and fiber, and they can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and tacos. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make garlicky beans at home. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and healthy meal, give garlicky beans a try.
