Garlic Green Beans

 

This is one of our favourite side dishes and it's so easy to make.

You will need:

• Green beans, washed and trimmed
• Garlic infused oil or garlic butter
• Sea salt
• Black pepper

Before we begin, a word on garlic infused oil.  I buy this from Pampered Chef and it is very strong so you only need a small amount.  If you would like to purchase some you can at Garlic Oil.

I put the beans in a micro steamer (also available from Pampered Chef) with about 3/4 cup of water.  Micro on high for 5 minutes.  Drain.  Drizzle garlic oil.  If you don't have any garlic oil, then a couple of tablespoons of garlic butter works very nicely as well.  Add 1/2 tsp of black pepper and 1/2 tsp. sea salt.  I know it doesn't sound like much salt, but I find sea salt "saltier" than normal table salt, so I always use less.

Micro for another 5 minutes.  Stir and let sit for 5 or 10 minutes before serving.
