Green Beans With Lemon

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it (for this, the same water may be used as that in which the potatoes have been blanched); add the beans, and cook until they are just bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Drain the beans, then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water, to stop the cooking.

3. 3

   When they're cool, drain them again.

4. 4

   Zest the lemons, and julienne or mince the zest.

5. 5

   Juice the lemons.

6. 6

   To serve, place the oil in a large skillet, and turn the heat to medium high.

7. 7

   Add the beans, and cook, tossing or stirring, until they are hot and glazed with the oil, 3 to 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Toss the beans in a serving bowl with the lemon juice, top with the zest, and then serve.
