    **Green Beans and Garlic**

    Simple and a wonderful addition to greenbeans or asparagus!
    Don't worry, the garlic really is quite mellow due to boiling.


    List of Ingredients


    • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
    • 15-20 cloves of garlic
    • 1/2 lb. of country ham (sliced about a 1/4 inch thick)
    • 1-1/2 lbs. fresh green beans, ends snipped
    • 1 Tbsp. butter


    Instructions


    1. Bring a pot of water to a boil; Add garlic and cook cloves for about 8-10 minutes until soft.
    2. Remove them from the water and smash them with a fork to break up.
    3. Add greenbeans to same pot of water and cook for about 6-8 minutes until they turn a brillant green. **You may wish to steam greenbeans instead of boiling.
    4. While the beans are cooking, saute the ham in a tablespoon of butter until browned; remove from pan and set aside.
    5. To same pan, add 3 Tbsp. of olive oil and cook the mashed garlic cloves.
    6. Saute the garlic for about 1 minute.
    7. Add cooked ham to the garlic just to heat.
    8. Drain beans and place in serving bowl; pour ham and garlic mixture over beans and toss.
    9. Add salt and pepper to taste.
