Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and add in the fresh green beans. Cook until the beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and shock the beans in ice water to halt the cooking process. Strain the beans once more and set them aside.
