SPANISH GREEN BEANS WITH GARLIC AND PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Rinse 1/2 lbs (250g) of fresh green beans under cold running water, shake off any of the excess water and cut off 1/2 inch from each end of each green bean, also thinly slice 5 cloves of garlic
• Heat a fry pan with a medium heat and add a 1/4 cup of cold water, once the water comes to a light boil add the green beans into the pan and place a lid on top
• Three minutes after adding the lid remove it, there should be almost no water left in the pan, drizzle in a generous tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and the thinly sliced garlics, mix everything together, continue to mix so the garlics can lightly cook, you don´t want to brown the garlics, just make them fragrant
• After 2 minutes turn off the heat, add in 1 tsp of sweet smoked paprika and season everything with sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper, mix together until well combined, very important to turn off the heat so the paprika does not get a bitter flavor
• Transfer the green beans into a serving dish, making sure to grab all the garlics in the pan and garnish with lemon wedges, enjoy!
