Recipe for marinating young green beans. Once the green beans have marinated, there's no need to add lemon juice or vinegar. If you combine these acids too early, the beans will turn an unappetizing brown color. Serve as a side dish with pork, poultry, veal, or beef.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.

1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.

1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

900 g of tender young green beans (washed and trimmed)

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Cook the beans in boiling salted water in a large saucepan with a lid over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, add the garlic and cilantro to a large heatproof bowl. Once the beans are done, drain them well, return to medium heat, and shake the pan for 30-40 seconds to release any excess moisture.

Place the hot beans on top of the garlic and coriander and let sit for 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or better yet, overnight.
About 45 minutes before serving, remove the beans from the refrigerator and let them sit, still covered, on the counter. Just before serving, add lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and pepper. Stir well, taste, and add more vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper if needed.
