Garlicky Green Beans
Sometimes it's the simplest of dishes that are the most memorable. This is our absolute favourite way to cook green beans - steamed in a splash of water, then richly flavoured directly in the frypan. It only takes 10 minutes, but delivers restaurant-quality vibes.
The classic flavours of garlic, lemon and thyme make these beans shine, but also ensure they pair well with most mains. You can use this same method to cook broccolini, thinly sliced carrots, or snow peas.

300 g green beans, tops trimmed
1⁄2 cup water
salt, to taste
2 tbsp butter
