Instructions
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the beans to the boiling water and cook for 1-3 minutes or until preferred doneness.
- Strain and plunge them into ice-cold water to stop them from overcooking and keep them al dente and bright green. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Add the oil, garlic, to the saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the beans to the oil; season to taste and toss to coat.
- Remove from the heat. Divide between serving plates or platter and serve topped with nuts and feta.
Tips
You can blanch the beans in boiling water, steam, or pan-fry. Using an ice bath stalls the cooking process and keeps the beans bright in color and al dente. They are just as delicious cold as they are warm.
