  • Reduce the heat and add the garlic to the skillet. Cook; then stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the green beans, increase the heat and cook, stirring often.
  • Add lemon juice and salt and pepper, stir well, sprinkle with almonds, stir again and serve.
  • For the topping, you can sprinkle the pomegranate on top, the black and white sesame seeds and zest a little lemon.
  • Serve and enjoy your dish!
