Easy Sauteed Green Beans

For a quick healthy side dish we make Sauteed Green Beans.  The kids even love them ;)

Ingredients:

• Whole Fresh Green Beans (One small handful per person)
• One Large Garlic Clove Grated (Two if serving six or more)
• Course Sea Salt - or regular salt if fine
• Fresh Ground Pepper
• Olive Oil

Wash and de-stem the green beans.  

Bring a couple inches of water to a simmer in a skillet.  Add the beans and simmer turning occasionally for about two to three minutes.  Remove strain under cold water.

Dry the water out of the skillet add two to three tablespoons Olive Oil and grated Garlic.  Heat on low heat until you start to smell the garlic infusing the oil.  Turn heat up to Med High and add the Green Beans.  

Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.  Saute' until just barely tender do not over cook.  You still want a slight crunch in the center.  This may take maybe five minutes no longer. 

Serve :)
