This dish is a welcome departure from run-of-the-mill sides. Lemon zest and golden garlic give wilted arugula and tender green beans multidimensional flavor.
  • 1 1/2 lb green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1/2 lb arugula, tough stems discarded and leaves chopped (6 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cook beans in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add beans, arugula, zest, salt, and pepper and cook, tossing, until arugula is wilted, about 2 minutes.
