Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, stem ends trimmed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed but not peeled
- Kosher salt or flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- freshly grated Parmesan to taste, optional
Instructions
- Combine the green beans, butter, water, and garlic cloves in a large skillet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cover the pot, place over medium-high heat, and bring to a simmer, then immediately turn heat to low once water is simmering.
- Cook for 8 minutes or until the beans are cooked through but not mushy. Transfer beans to a serving dish. Shave parmesan over the top if you wish. Crack more pepper over the top if you wish, too.
