I love this recipe! One of my favorite ways to have green beans. I used fresh green beans and blanched them in hot boiling water with some kosher salt for 10 minutes, than drained the water off. I used a saucepan and added minced garlic and the olive oil and lightly browned the garlic , than added the green beans, salt and black pepper and tossed lightly and removed from the pan to a platter and added some chopped red onion. This is delicious warm or cold. I could eat this everyday just by its self. :) Thanks for sharing the recipe!

When I'm not nose-deep in a book for school, I love to spend time with friends and family, shop, travel, and surf on 'Zaar of course! I recently began taking ballroom dance lessons and even though I have two left feet most days, I still enjoy it!
