The satisfying side: Steamed green beans and garlicky olives
Steam 250 g fresh green beans until tender and bright green in colour. Drain. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over a medium to low heat and gently fry 2 thinly sliced cloves garlic until fragrant. Add 1⁄2 cup smashed mixed olives and fry for a further few minutes. Remove from the heat, add the beans and toss. Serve warm as an easy side dish.
