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.
