Lemon-Parsley Green Beans

Lemon-Parsley Green Beans
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat: add sugar, and beans. Cook until beans are bright green and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, and place in a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking.
  2. Combine the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter melts. Stir in the garlic; cook until pale beige and fragrant. Stir in the beans; cook until wilted, and garlic is dark brown, about 4 minutes. Toss beans with parsley and lemon zest, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer beans to a serving dish, and garnish with lemon wedges.
