Directions Preparing:5 minCooking:10 min

Step 1Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes.

Step 2Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water. Drain the green beans and immediately plunge them into the ice water to stop them from cooking. Once cooled, drain the beans and set aside.

Step 3In a medium skillet, melt the ghee over medium heat. When it is hot, add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and cook until soft, about 1 minute.

Step 4Add the green beans and toss until hot, about 3 minutes. Serve.
