Sauteed String Beans With Garlic and Preserved Lemon
_Proven, Mediterrean
Ingredients
3 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound green beans (stringed if desired)
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
3 medium cloves garlic, cut lengthwise into very thin slices
1 tablespoon finely chopped herbs, such as thyme or tarragon
1/4 cup preserved lemons, cut into strips (see headnote)
Directions
Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke.
Add the green beans, and stir or toss to coat evenly; cook for about 4 to 6 minutes, making sure to keep the beans moving so that all sides get browned or slightly caramelized. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the garlic and stir to mix well. Cook, stirring or tossing, for about 4 minutes, until the garlic has softened and browned slightly. Add the herbs and mix well; cook for about 30 seconds, then remove from the heat. Add the preserved lemon and stir to incorporate. Transfer to a large platter; serve hot or at room temperature.
