Summer Sauteed Green Beans

Ingredients: 1 green onion sliced diagonally – for garnish 1 pound green beans 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 teaspoons sliced garlic 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes   Directions: 1. Finely slice the green onions on an angle. Set aside. Wash green beans under cold running water. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and blanch until bright green, about 2 minutes. Shock in ice water then drain in a colander. 3. Heat a large pan over high heat. Add oil, then garlic and chili. Stir mixture around so it fries and gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and toss a couple of times to coat everything evenly. Season with sea salt and saute for a minute or so until the beans get a little caramelization. 4. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
