Ingredients

green beans 180g, trimmed
extra-virgin olive oil 5 tbsp
garlic 2 cloves, thinly sliced
Gaeta or Kalamata black olives 60g, pitted
soft goat’s cheese 80g
basil a handful
lemon ½, juiced

Method

Step 1

Blanch the green beans in a large pan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes or until just tender, then plunge straight into a bowl of iced water. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then drain well.
Step 2

Gently heat the olive oil and garlic in a frying pan over a medium heat and, when
it’s sizzling and just starts to colour, add the olives and green beans for a few minutes to warm through.
Step 3

Remove the pan from the heat and break in the goat’s cheese, tear the basil, squeeze over the lemon juice and season. Divide between two plates to serve.
