Roman beans with parsley and garlicunknown

Time:< 30 mins

Green beans are available all year round, but during spring and early summer they're at their most abundant. Green beans should snap - it's a sign of freshness.

Ingredients

750g of Roman (also called Dutch flat pole) beans
4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
3 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup of chopped flat-leaf parsley
salt and pepper

Method

Bring a good amount of salted water to the boil in a pot. Trim 750g of Roman (also called Dutch flat pole) beans. Cook until tender. Drain the beans, put them in a bowl and dress with 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and half a cup of chopped flat-leaf parsley. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
