For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic. To prevent the green beans from becoming too soft, ensure the skillet is not overcrowded; cook in batches if necessary. Freshly crumbled feta is recommended for the best flavor and texture. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after cooking brightens the dish even more.

Jan 27, 2024Make sure not to overcook the green beans; they should still have a bit of a snap.
