Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook, uncovered, until just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the beans are nearly tender, drain them and add to the skillet. Continue cooking the green beans in the butter until they reach desired tenderness, approximately 2 minutes more.
Season the beans with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Transfer the beans to a warmed serving dish, and generously sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
