Asparagus beans with garlic

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.
