Fried asparagus beans with garlic, perfect combination for a fried beef.
At a bistro in Paris, this dish is served with a good entrecôte.
Tips and variations
- Choose thin and tender green beans for the best texture. Thicker beans can become stringy and take longer to cook.
- Blanch in well-salted boiling water and immediately transfer to ice water to stop cooking and preserve the bright green color.
- Add a squeeze of lemon and grated parmesan at the end for extra depth and a more rounded flavor.
🍷 Wine pairing
Sauvignon Blanc: Pairs perfectly with garlic green beans thanks to its crisp acidity. A dry Vermentino or Pinot Grigio also works well.

Yes, frozen green beans work well and are a convenient option. They can be used directly without blanching. Cooking time may vary slightly.
Beyond garlic, lemon, parmesan, toasted almonds, and chili all work beautifully. A simple olive oil and lemon dressing enhances the flavor without overpowering it.
