Preparation

• Start by placing the beans in 1 cup of water and turn heat up to high bringing to a boil.
• Allow this to boil with no lid for about 4-5 minutes They should be tender enough to eat but not mushy at this point.
• Drain all the water off and return to the high heat for a few seconds to cook off any water.
• Lower the heat to medium low. Now add the oil, garlic, lemon zest, red pepper, and salt.
• Saute-- stirring constantly so the garlic does not burn-- a few minutes until the garlic is tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and saute for another few seconds.
