Zest up your meal with Lemon-Garlic Green Beans

There is nothing better to add some zest to your meals than fresh lemon – especially when you’ve just picked it from the tree… and extra especially when it’s from your own garden in the Land of Israel!

I often serve green beans as a side dish with chicken, fish or meat. But this time the fresh zest and juice from the lemon and the garlic took this staple dish to a new level. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 200 grams of fresh or frozen green beans
• two cloves garlic diced
• zest of one small lemon
• pinch of salt or to taste
• 2 tbsp Galilee Green Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

1. Heat Galilee Green Olive Oil in a pan.
2. Add garlic and lemon zest and cook slowly over low heat until light brown.
3. Add a pinch of salt (or to taste).
4. Then add beans and cook slowly until desired doneness.
5. Pour in lemon juice and stir.
