Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb green beans
1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 -4 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, more if desired
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Steam beans over a pot of boiling water, or in a veggie steamer, for about 5 minutes.

  • Keep in mind that you will also be sautéing the beans in the next step.
  • In a large saute pan, heat olive oil.
  • Add the garlic and saute for about 45 seconds to impart its flavors into the oil.
