A SIMPLE PREPARATION WITH BIG FLAVOR
A simple side of veggies is a must with my meals!
These lemony green beans make me all kinda happy.
These lovely greens are based on Miznon’s “bag of beans" that I absolutely love!
I often find the simplest preparation can be the most pleasing to the pallet and this is proof of it.
Perfect paired with a simple za'atar crusted salmon

INGREDIENTS
- 500g green bean (optional to trim)

- Transfer your beans to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. When completely cold, drain with a strainer.

- DEVOUR!
