Ingredients

• 400g beans (ideally a mixture of few varieties - green beans, yellow beans, snake beans and snow peas all work well)
• Grated peel from a third of a lemon
• ¼ of a garlic clove
• 50g salt, for boiling water
• Generous pinch of Mount Zero Pink Lake Salt, for seasoning
• ½ tsp lemon juice
• 5-10ml Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

1. Bring water to a boil with a ratio of 10 grams salt for every litre water. 
2. Boil the beans for about eight minutes*, until they’re soft enough to bite but haven’t lost their colour. 
3. Take the beans out and soak in ice water for a minute, then remove them and let them drain in a colander.
4. In a large bowl, add the beans, salt, olive oil, lemon peel and lemon juice, and grate in the garlic. Mix the beans until the salt has dissolved and the beans are shiny. Taste and correct seasoning. 
5. Serve in a brown bag, with wrinkled parchment paper in it.
