This version of the classic comfort food dish, our Fresh Green Bean (link to article above) Casserole boasts plenty of flavor and minimal fat and calories.
2 pound green beans, trimmed 1 tablespoon olive oil 6 clove garlic, finely chopped 2 cups fresh bread crumbs, made from 5 slices country bread 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water, and set aside. Bring a large stockpot with water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender -- about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer beans to the ice water to cool. Strain and blot dry. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until soft. Remove from heat, toss in the bread crumbs, butter, salt, pepper, and the blanched beans. Transfer to a 6-cup baking dish. Bake until the beans are tender and the bread crumbs are golden -- 18 to 20 minutes.
