Pro Tips To Get The Best Garlic Green Beans

2. Instead of sunflower oil or vegetable oil use extra virgin olive oil for maximum aroma.

3. Don’t skip the step of peeling the both sides of the green beans as well as the head and tips of them with a vegetable peeler.

You cam make the calculation according to your guest number.

Example: 1 dessert spoon of salt with 2 dessert spoon of sugar.

That’s the golden standard! 👌

5. Place the ingredients layer by layer in this recipe.

One layer of onion, one layer of green beans, one layer of tomatoes etc.

Never place all of them in a disorganized way in the casserole.

When using a wet cooking paper, the cooking step is more professional.

Because the green beans get cooked with their own vapeur and not too much water.

This step affects the result so much. 👌
