- ½ cup water
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Heat a 12 inch saute pan over medium high heat. Add water and beans and bring to a simmer then cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 4-5 minutes then remove the lid. Cook for another 2 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, until the remaining water evaporates.

- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir together the garlic and beans and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
