Charring the beans amplifies their natural sweetness, while providing a hint of smoke at the same time. This cooking technique is Chinese in style.

Ingredients

300g/10½oz green beans, stalk ends trimmed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ lemon, juice only
½ small bunch fresh parsley, leaves only, roughly chopped

Method

Place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the green beans, ½ teaspoon salt and 50ml/2fl oz water. Cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Add the olive oil and cook for a further 2½ minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Turn off the heat and squeeze over the lemon juice. Stir through the parsley and tip into a serving bowl. Serve warm.
