Ingredients:
3/4 lb. yellow beans, trimmed
1 large shallot, sliced
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/4– 1 tsp. dried red chili flakes (depending on preference)
1 lemon
olive oil
coarse, flaky sea salt
Instructions:
-In a large sauté pan, warm a splash of olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add the yellow beans, shallots, garlic and chili flakes. Season with salt.
-Sauté the beans until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-Add a small splash of water to the pan, and place a lid on top.
-Cook the beans on low for about 3-5 minutes. Tip: If your heat is too high, the outside will
overcook, causing the inside to remain crunchy.
-Remove the lid, and continue to cook until all of the moisture has evaporated and the beans are
crisp tender.
-Add a small squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Adjust with more lemon and salt as desired.
-Serve warm.
