Prepare Ingredients
Gather Cooking Equipment

Add green beans, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally with rubber spatula, until spotty brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
Food for Thought
Trimming Green Beans
To make trimming green beans quick and easy, line up several green beans on a cutting board and cut off tough ends. Do same thing on other side of beans.
How to Mince Garlic
Follow the steps on the next two slides when you need to mince garlic cloves for a recipe. Garlic is sticky, so you may need to carefully wipe it from the sides of the knife to get the pieces of garlic back onto the cutting board, where you can cut them.
(You can also use a garlic press to both peel and mince garlic—so easy.)
Crush garlic clove with bottom of measuring cup to loosen papery skin. Use your fingers to remove and discard papery skin.
Place one hand on handle of chef’s knife and rest fingers of your other hand on top of blade. Use rocking motion, pivoting knife as you chop garlic repeatedly to cut it into very small pieces.
