METHOD
1
Heat the pan
Heat a wide pan until very hot.
2
Char the lemon
Place the lemon halves cut-side down in the dry pan for three minutes until deeply blackened. Lift out.
3
Cook the beans
Add oil, beans and garlic to the same pan. Cook over high heat for five minutes, tossing, until charred and tender-crisp.
4
Finish
Squeeze the burnt lemons over the beans and grind over plenty of pepper.
VEG.ARMY TIP
Burnt lemon is sweeter than fresh — the heat changes the bitterness into caramel.
