Steps
- 1Fill a large bowl with ice and water to create an ice-water bath. Heat a medium pot of water over high heat until it boils. Add the wax beans and cook for approximately 2 1/2 minutes until they are tender-crisp and vibrant in color. Use a slotted spoon to take out the beans and immediately transfer them into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain the beans once cooled and set them aside. Next, blanch the snap peas in the boiling water for around 1 minute before following the same process of transferring them into the ice bath to preserve their bright green color.
- 2Begin by heating oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the scallions and garlic, ensuring to stir occasionally until they become soft without browning, which should take approximately 3 minutes. Next, introduce the cannellini beans into the pan and cook them until they are just heated through, for about 2 more minutes.
