Garlic Green Beans

There is almost no side dish I love more than garlic and green beans. It's sort of a classic side dish, and when I started dating my Spanish boyfriend it was on the table at least once a week.

The method for making these is super simple and you can genuinely adapt the recipe for probably any vegetable.

stuff: 
1 lb of green beans (or a prepackaged bag)
3 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp olive oil


directions: 

1. Peel the garlic and thinly all 3 slice cloves.

2. Add a small amount of cold water to a pot (just enough to cover the bottom), add green beans, cover and set to medium-low heat and steam for 10-15 minutes or until beans are just slightly soft.

3. Remove beans from pot and set aside.

4. In a nonstick skillet heat the olive oil until shimmering and add garlic, cooking until lightly browned but not burned, once the garlic is just barely browned toss in the green beans you set aside earlier and sauteé with the garlic and olive oil until the beans are slightly blistered.

5. Remove beans and garlic from a skillet, sprinkle lightly with salt and serve.
