Green beans are popular in this household and even though I intended to make this recipe with Asparagus, I caved to the demands today. To change things up a bit, I did my usual steaming method but this time quickly sauteed some garlic while the green beans were steaming and then tossed on some meyer lemon rind and juice.
No meyer lemons? No problem, use regular lemons, oranges or tangerine. This is a quick way to change up the old standby and freshen leftover green beans.
By the way, use this idea with other veggies as well–peas, broccoli, your favs!
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen green beans, steamed
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
ring of 1 meyer lemon
fresh meyer lemon juice, maybe 1-2 teaspoons
