1 teaspoon lemon juice
Gremolata Sauce
1 tablespoon lemon, zest of, minced
1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt

To make the gremolata: The ingredients must be hand chopped with a knife.
Stir together the zest, parsley, garlic and salt.
Slowly pour in the oil constantly stirring until it is well blended.
It can be kept covered in the fridge for 3 days.
Steam the bean until crisp tender.
While hot, toss with two tablespoons of \"Gremolata\" and sprinkle with lemon juice
Serve hot or at room temperature (the lemon juice will turn the beans brown so do not do this ahead of time).
