Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 500 milliliters water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off both ends using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.

Step 2

Bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.

Step 3

Blanch the green beans by adding them to the boiling water and cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 4

Immediately transfer the blanched green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain the water and pat the beans dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic (use a garlic press or mince finely), salt, and black pepper to create the honey mustard glaze.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans to the skillet and pour the honey mustard glaze over them.

Step 7

Toss the beans in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated and warmed through.

Step 8

Optional: Drizzle with a teaspoon of lemon juice before serving for a bright, zesty note.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy your Honey Mustard Green Beans while warm.
