Green Beans with Lemon & Olive Oil
Some like them hot, but I love my green beans served at room temperature. This is another dish that doesn't have to be prepared at the last minute.
Ingredients:
|
|
| 2 | # green beans, washed, ends removed |
| 2 | Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil |
| coarse grained salt and cracked black pepper to taste | |
| 3-4 | Tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice |
 |
Bring
eight cups of salted water to a boil. Place green beans in the pot and cook
to your desired degree of doneness. |
|
Strain
the water off the green beans and place them back in the pot. Drizzle the
olive oil over the beans and stir to coat. Season with salt and cracked
pepper, stir once more. Taste and adjust seasonings. |
|
Gradually
add the lemon juice to your taste. Adjust seasonings. Serve immediately. |
