Beans With Lemon And Garlic Crumbs Food

GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of well salted boiling water until bright green in color and tender crisp, roughly 2 minutes. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the butter. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and continue to saute until coated in the butter and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.

GREEN BEANS WITH GARLIC AND BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• In a pot, steam the green beans until tender-crisp. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute on medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. DO NOT allow the garlic to burn!
• Stir in the bread crumbs and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes more, pressing down on the bread crumb mixture with a spatula to allow it to become crispy. Again, be careful not to burn.
• Stir in the green beans and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

GARLIC AND LEMON BEANS

Steps:

• To make this basic flavorful side dish, drain and rinse one or two 15- to 16-ounce cans of black, red, or pinto beans. Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a skillet; add 2 to 4 cloves minced garlic (depending on whether you use one or two cans, and on how much you like garlic-feel free to use as much as you like). Sauté over low heat until the garlic begins to turn golden, then add the beans and 1/4 to 1/2 cup water (again, depending on the amount of beans). Bring to a simmer. With a potato masher, crush just enough of the beans to thicken the base. Add lemon juice to your liking, season with pepper, and serve. You can also add a small amount of chopped parsley or cilantro to this dish.
