Slip in the beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender

Remove the beans to an ice bath to shock, then drain and pat dry with paper towels

Remove the rosemary sprig, raise the heat to medium-high, and add the string beans

6

Toss to coat with the rosemary-lemon scented oil until the beans are heated through

7

Season with salt and pepper, to taste

8

Lemon-Infused Olive Oil: Put the lemon zest in a small pot and pour in 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil

Cool completely and transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid

Dress grilled chicken or any simply vegetable with the oil

When tomatoes are in season, a simple dish of sliced tomato dressed with this oil and a sprinkling of oregano is a meal unto itself
