Ingredients
- 400 g fine green beans (haricots verts), preferably fresh
- 60 g butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
- 1/2-1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/2 lemon, finely grated zest
- 20 g Parmesan, finely grated
- 1 handful parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chopped parsley, to serve
Instructions
- Top and tail the beans and cook them in a pan of salted water until done to your liking. I prefer them with a little bite, but cook them the way you like them.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat and fry the garlic and chilli flakes for a couple of minutes - without letting them brown.
- Add the lemon zest and season with freshly ground pepper.
- Take the butter off the heat and stir in first the Parmesan, then the parsley.
- Drain the beans well and arrange them on a plate.
- Pour the Parmesan butter sauce over the beans and sprinkle with a little finely chopped parsley before serving.
