Lemon-Parsley Green Beans Recipe

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat: add sugar and beans. Cook until beans are bright green and tender 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking.

Combine the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter melts. Stir in the garlic; cook until pale beige and fragrant. Stir in the beans; cook until wilted and garlic is dark brown about 4 minutes. Toss beans with parsley and lemon zest and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer beans to a serving dish and garnish with lemon wedges.
