Green Beans Recipe with Lemon, Tomatoes and Crispy Garlic
Equipment
- Steam Basket
- Spider (Frying Spoon)
Ingredients
- 2 cups Trimmed Green Beans
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 2 Thinly Sliced Garlic Cloves
- 1 Lemon
- 2 Tbs Olive Oil
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
- 1/4 Cup Sliced Grape Tomatoes
Instructions
- Place the green beans into a steam basket in a large stockpot and fill with water until the water is just below the steam basket. Top with a lid and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook until your desired amount of doneness, between 6 and 8 minutes.
- While the beans are steaming, slice the garlic cloves into very thin slices.
- Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat.
- The oil is hot enough to fry the garlic when a little flick of water sizzles.
- Add the garlic slices - carefully - to the sauce pan and fry until they just start to turn golden.
- Remove with the spider and lay onto a paper towel. Set aside.
- Once the green beans are cooked, remove and add to a large bowl.
- Add the juice from one lemon, the salt + pepper and sliced tomatoes to the bowl with the green beans and toss together.
- Top with the garlic chips and serve!
Notes
You can also swap olive oil out for butter or duck fat if you're feeling more decadent!
