Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 13-18 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
400g green beans, topped and tailed
1 broccoli head, cut into small florets
6 garlic cloves
100g butter
Salt

Method
  • Boil kettle full of water.
  • Place broccoli florets and beans into a deep saucepan. Cover with boiling water, and simmer covered on low for three minutes.



  • Meanwhile, top and tail garlic, and crush and remove skin.



  • Tip: The easiest way to remove garlic skin is to top and tail cloves, and then firmly press flat side of knife onto garlic clove. The skin should just come away.

  • Drain broccoli and beans well, and set aside.
  • Melt butter in frying pan on low-medium heat, then add garlic.
  • Allow garlic to soften for 2-3 minutes. Stir if necessary, and be careful not to brown.
  • Add broccoli and beans, and cover for 10-15 minutes, depending on how firm/soft you prefer your vegetables.



  • Remove from heat, and season to taste with salt.
  • Serve alongside your chosen main, and enjoy.
