Garlic Caper Green Beans

So my brother Albert, much like many others out there right now, is on a serious job hunt.

In order to update his resume and social media pages, it was decided that we should get him a new profile picture.

And of course, the only way to do that is to have a serious photo shoot all around the house to select the right one. In only took us thirty-eight tries.

I would love to show you the winners and the losers, but Albert is a little blog “sensitive.” Although they are available if you want to shoot me an email.

This recipe has nothing to do with Albert’s photo shoot but it was damn good.

You will need…

1 ½ pound green beans

4 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons capers

1 lemon, zest and juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Start by bringing a large pot of water to boil.

When the water is boiling, add in the green beans and cook for about 6 minutes. Just so they beans are slightly tender.

Drain the beans and move them into cold water.

While the beans are cooking, combine the lemon zest, garlic and capers in a food processor. 

Blend until it the combo makes a paste.

Heat the olive oil over medium high. When the garlic is hot, add in the garlic and caper paste and cook for about 2 minutes.

Add in the juice of the lemon and simmer the liquid.

After the liquid has simmered for about 1 minute, add in the beans and toss well. Cook until the beans are hot.

Season with salt and pepper serve.
