Instructions:

Microwave temperatures vary-be sure to check the garlic after 45 seconds to see if it has softened. Both red and white wine vinegar work well here.

12	garlic cloves , peeled and halved lengthwise
2	tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4	teaspoon sugar
1 1/2	pounds green beans , trimmed
3	tablespoons water
4	teaspoons wine vinegar  (see note)
	Salt and pepper

1. Microwave garlic, oil, and sugar, uncovered, in small microwave-safe bowl until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Carefully transfer 1 tablespoon oil from garlic mixture to large nonstick skillet. Reserve remaining garlic mixture.

2. Heat skillet over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering. Add green beans and water and cook, covered, until bright green, about 3 minutes. Add reserved garlic mixture to pan; do not stir. Continue to cook, covered, until beans are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Remove lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are browned in spots and garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Off heat, stir in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Serve.
