Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook for 3–4 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender with just a slight bite remaining.
2
Drain the beans in a colander and shake off any excess water.
