Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it (for this, the same water may be used as that in which the potatoes have been blanched); add the beans, and cook until they are just bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2
Drain the beans, then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water, to stop the cooking. When they're cool, drain them again. Zest the lemons, and julienne or mince the zest. Juice the lemons.
- Step 3
To serve, place the oil in a large skillet, and turn the heat to medium high. Add the beans, and cook, tossing or stirring, until they are hot and glazed with the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the beans in a serving bowl with the lemon juice, top with the zest, and then serve.
