Green Beans / Asparagus
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch of green beans or asparagus
Salt and pepper*
Olive oil*
1 lemon*, zested
DIRECTIONS
Blanch the green beans/asparagus by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans/asparagus and cook for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, immediately submerge the green beans/asparagus in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans/asparagus and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Cook for 5 minutes, maintaining the bright green color and crispness. Enjoy!
If you’re short on time, skip the blanch step and just sauté the veggies a bit longer.
