Fresh Green Bean Casserole
Source: Country Living
2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups fresh bread crumbs, made from 5 slices country bread
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water, and set aside. Bring a large stockpot with water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer beans to the ice water to cool. Strain and blot dry.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until soft. Remove from heat, toss in the bread crumbs, butter, salt, pepper, and the blanched beans. Transfer to a 6-cup baking dish.
Bake until the beans are tender and the bread crumbs are golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
