Lemony Steamed Green Beans

lemon

olive oil

salt

black pepper

Trim the green beans. Zest the lemon, then juice it.

Place 1 1/2 cups water into a saucepan or pot. If using a steamer basket without a handle, add it to the pot now: the water surface should be right under the basket. Bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, add the green beans (in the steamer basket, if it has a handle). Steam with the lid on 4 to 5 minutes until just tender, testing with a fork to assess whether it’s done.

Carefully remove the beans to a bowl. Toss with the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, kosher salt, and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.

When boiling, place the green beans into the steamer basket and cover for 4-5 minutes. Green beans should be a brilliant green color, but still have a little snap.

Remove from the steamer basket and toss with the sherry, place into a serving platter.

Top with pat of butter, flaky sea salt and ground black pepper.
