Green Beans Sauteed with Olive Oil & Garlic
This was just what my meal needed! Tonight we had baked spaghetti squash with tomato-herb sauce, sliced fried Italian sausage with this side dish!
Green Beans Sauteed with Olive Oil & Garlic
SERVES 4
This is excellent. Lightly browning the beans in the beginning adds an interesting depth of flavor, similar to roasting or grilling.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound green beans, cleaned and tips removed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram leaves
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
- Water as needed
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Add the beans, salt and pepper. Sauté until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the marjoram and garlic; sauté another minute. Add just enough water for moisture, about 3 tablespoons. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until beans are the desired tenderness. Uncover and cook until any moisture is evaporated. Serve immediately for hot, but they are also good at room temperature.
