Garlic Green Beans

To prepare the garlic green beans, wash and trim the green beans 1, then plunge them into salted boiling water 2 and blanch them for about 5 minutes (for a final texture that is quite firm and crunchy). Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan, toast the bread with a generous splash of oil 3.

Salt 4 and season with chili pepper 5. Stir or toss to make it evenly crispy and prevent it from burning. When it is nicely golden and crunchy 6, remove it from the pan and set it aside.

In the same pan, pour a splash of oil and add the garlic, peeled and chopped 7. Let it flavor for a minute, then add the green beans, draining them directly into the pan with a slotted spoon from the pot 8. Salt, add chili pepper to taste (if you don't like excessive spiciness, you can omit it here and leave it only in the bread) and let it flavor for about 5 minutes, stirring often 9.

Plate the green beans with the crunchy bread 10 and a few sprigs of marjoram 11. The garlic green beans are ready to be enjoyed 12.
