Green Beans With Olives

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Green beans
1 tablespoon	15ml	Butter
1 tablespoon	15ml	Olive oil
1 tablespoon	15ml	Garlic clove - minced (small)
2		Scallions - finely chopped
1/2 cup	118ml	Pimento-stuffed green olives sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons	22ml	Lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and plunge immediately into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again, and cut into 1" pieces. Set aside. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet.

Add garlic and scallions and saute until softened. Add beans, olives and lemon juice; saute until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
