Instructions
-
Prepare the beans by trimming the ends, removing any strings, and rinsing them.
-
Crush and peel the garlic, cutting larger cloves into halves or quarters.
-
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, then cook the garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
-
Add the rinsed beans, salt, and water to the pan; cover and simmer on medium-low heat for approximately 20 minutes until the beans are very tender.
-
Remove the cover, increase heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until any remaining water evaporates and the beans begin to brown slightly.
-
Serve the braised beans hot, warm, or at room temperature, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
