Sautéed Green Beans & Garlic

I'm always looking for creative ways to prepare vegetables that make them as delicious as possible. This recipe is great to use with fresh green beans, if you have them around. I don't know how well it would work with frozen or canned. 

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 lb. fresh green beans
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Chop off ends of green beans.
2. In a medium to large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add beans to skillet with a sprinkle of salt.
4. Cook beans until they start to have some color. 
5. When the color starts to substantially change, add garlic.
6. Cook 1-2 minutes longer, until garlic is aromatic.
7. Remove from heat and season with pepper and salt.
