Sautéed Green or Yellow Beans

Recipe by The FruitGuys

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound green beans or yellow wax beans
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• One small onion, thinly sliced
• Three tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION

1. Wash beans well. Cut or break stems off of beans, and break or slice into bite-size pieces.
2. Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat, add garlic and onion and stir for 2–3 minutes.
3. Increase heat slightly, add beans, and sauté until tender but still crunchy (for softer beans, continue cooking a little longer).
4. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Serves 3–4 as a side dish — Cook time, 5–7 minutes.
Cook’s note: recipe may be halved; butter may be substituted for oil.
