Recipe - Greek-Style Green Beans

2 pound Green beans; tipped and
tailed
3 tablespoon Butter
2 Garlic cloves; peeled and
chopped
1 Red bell pepper; seeded and
cut or sliced up
14 Greekstyle olives; drain
pit and halve
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Bring a large quantity of salted water to the boil in a large saucepan. Add
the beans and blanch 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, refresh under cold water, and
drain again. This can be done 3 or 4 days in advance. In a skillet, heat
the butter until it sings . Add the garlic and red pepper and cook until
the garlic turns golden, being careful not to let it burn. This will only
take a minute or two. Add the blanched beans, olives, oregano, lemon juice,
and salt and pepper to taste. Toss for about 2 minutes, until the beans are
heated through.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
