Sauteed Garlic Green Beans

Ingredients

 1 lb french green beans (haricots verts), stems removed
 6 medium garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
 2 cups vegetable broth (unsalted, preferably homemade)
 salt (optional) to taste
 ground black pepper (optional) to taste

Directions

1

Heat a large stovetop pan over medium heat.

2

Add the green beans and let them cook until they’re slightly charred, about 5–7 minutes, adding 1–2 tablespoons of water as needed to deglaze the pan (but they should not stick).

3

Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

4

Add the vegetable broth. Turn up the heat to medium-high, then simmer until the vegetable broth has evaporated, about 7–10 minutes.

5

Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use water in place of vegetable broth.
