Ingredients
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound fresh italian flat beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red chile pepper flakes

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice bath. Blanch the beans for about 1 minute, then drain and shock in the ice bath.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and crushed red chile pepper flakes and sweat until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Drain the beans from the ice bath. Add the beans, increase the heat to high, and cook until crisp tender, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
