Ingredients
  

For the green beans

  • 1 ½ Pounds green beans trimmed
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh tarragon finely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 Teaspoons lemon zest

For the garlic breadcumbs

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ Cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 Cloves garlic minced
  • Kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes; until tender crisp. Drain the beans and immediately plunge them into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry.
  • Make the garlic breadcrumbs. In a small nonstick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and garlic and stir constantly until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the garlic is fragrant. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a bowl immediately so they don't burn in the pan. Season the breadcrumbs with salt.
  • Heat the olive oil for the green beans in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the beans, lemon juice and zest, and the tarragon. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until well coated and warmed through.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle the garlic breadcrumbs over the green beans.
  • Enjoy!
