Beans
good tasting extra virgin olive oil
3 lbs green beans, stem ends trimmed
salt and fresh-ground black pepper
1 cup water
Gremolata
5 large garlic cloves, crushed
1/3 cup water
2 shredded large lemons, zest of (organic preferred, after all, you are eating the entire rind)
1 cup Italian parsley, leaves tightly packed
salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups coarsely-grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

1
1. Lightly film the bottom of 2 straight-sided 12-inch saute pans with oil. Heat them over medium-high heat. Add the beans and generous sprinklings of salt and pepper, and saute for 2 minutes, or until the beans begin to brown. Add 1/2 cup of water to each pan and immediately cover it. Turn the heat to medium-low. Cook the beans for 15 to 20 minutes, checking them often for burning and adding a little water if necessary. You want the beans very tender.
2
As the beans cook, make the gremolata. Put the garlic and 1/3 cup water in a coffee mug and microwave 1 minute, or simmer in a small saucepan to 1 to 2 minutes (this mellows the garlic just a little). Then, in a food processor, mince together the garlic (with its liquid), lemon zest, and parsley. Salt and pepper the mixture to taste.
3
When the beans are tender, uncover them, cook off any liquid in the pan, and turn them into a serving bowl. Toss the beans with the gremolata and the grated cheese.
