Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb. green beans -- stem end trimmed
2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red bell pepper -- slivered
1/2 tsp. hot red pepper flakes -- or to taste
1 clove garlic -- cut in slivers
1 tbsp. fresh parsley -- coarsely chopped
Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Add the green beans and salt; stir until the water returns to a boil. Boil the beans until tender but still bright green, about 8 minutes. Drain immediately.
Meanwhile, heat the oil, red bell pepper and red pepper flakes in a medium skillet. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the bell pepper begins to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes.
In a serving bowl, toss the hot beans and the oil mixture together. Add the parsley, if using.
