Every summer, Pop raises green beans and I love them. I'm always on the lookout for other ways to fix them in place of cooking them with bacon until soft, even though that is my favorite. Gotta have something different every once in a while. Lemon goes so well with green beans and this recipe sounded like a wonderful way to use fresh green beans. Source: First Magazine Ingredients:
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed |
1 red onion, peeled and cut into thin wedges |
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 lemon, juice and zest of |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a partially covered microwave-safe dish, microwave green beans and 1 tablespoons of water for 4 minutes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the onions and garlic in the oil for three minutes or until lightly browned.
3. Add green beans and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoons lemon zest.
