Buttery Garlic Green Beans
"Real men wear aprons." -Anonymous
Green beans are one of the few green vegetables that I will eat so I try almost every green bean recipe that looks interesting. This one has turned into one of my favorites. The original recipe came from a blog named LookWhatsCooking and was published by Allrecipes.com. Naturally, I’ve altered things a bit and added a secret ingredient that really adds flavor. Adobo is a powdered Mexican flavoring and it can be found in most grocery stores (at least in the south).
- 1 pound green beans (fresh, trimmed, snapped in half)
- 3 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Adobo powder
- 1 dash salt (Diamond Crystal Kosher salt)
Over medium-high heat, bring the beans to a boil, about 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Drain the liquid. Add butter to green beans; cook and stir until butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Cook and stir the Adobo and garlic with green beans until garlic is tender and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
Season with lemon pepper, transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
