Steps
- 1Start by heating a large pot of water until it reaches a rolling boil. Add the corn and cook it for 5 to 7 minutes until the kernels are just tender enough. Carefully take out the corn using tongs and allow it to cool down. Next, use a small sieve to eliminate any leftover corn silk from the pot before proceeding further.
- 2Place green beans in a pot of boiling water and cook until they are very tender, which should take around 5 to 8 minutes depending on their size. While the green beans are cooking, carefully slice the corn kernels off the cobs into a large bowl. Once the green beans are done, drain them in a colander, give it a shake to remove excess water, and then combine them with the corn in the bowl. Add minced garlic and pour in 3 tablespoons of oil. Mix everything together thoroughly and allow it to sit for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. You can also refrigerate this bean mixture, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 8 hours if needed; just remember to bring it back to room temperature before using it further.
