Lemon Garlic Green Beans

It is true when you hear on a cooking program that a recipe needs a touch of lemon to brighten the flavors.  

Lemon Garlic Green Beans

1 pound fresh green beans, cleaned
1 tbsp garlic olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste


Cook green beans as you normally do.  Drain and while they are in the strainer, melt the butter in the saucepan you used for cooking.  Mix in garlic olive oil and lemon.  Place green beans back in the pan and toss to coat them evenly.  Season as you like with salt and freshly ground pepper.
