Zesty Green Beans

1. 1

   In a large heavy saucepan, heat oil.

2. 2

   Add garlic and beans, and saute over high heat to sear beans, stirring frequently so they do not burn. It usually takes just a few minutes with fresh beans and under 5 minutes with frozen beans.

3. 3

   Add thyme, sea salt and pepper to taste (about a dash). Add water and vegetable bouillon. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until beans are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.

4. 4

   Add more water, if necessary. Frozen beans will take only half the time.

5. 5

   Add a squeeze of lemon juice, and toss well.
