Lemony Garlicky Green Beans

Place the green beans in a pot of boiling water until they turn bright green (roughly about 2-3 mins). Drain them and soak them in cold, icy water to stop them from cooking and softening/wilting. Bring a large skillet over to medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil (or garlic ghee). Then add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 30 seconds, as garlic burns quickly! Add the green beans and sauté for about 5 mins. Add some lemon zest and season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
