Green beans marinated with coriander and garlic

Ingredients:

• 900 g of tender young green beans (washed and trimmed)
• 3 liters of boiling water plus 1.5 teaspoons of salt
• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
• 2/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves (dried will not work)
• 5 - 6 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 3-4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Cook the beans in boiling salted water in a large saucepan with a lid over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, add the garlic and cilantro to a large heatproof bowl. Once the beans are done, drain them well, return to medium heat, and shake the pan for 30-40 seconds to release any excess moisture.
   
   Place the hot beans on top of the garlic and coriander and let sit for 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or better yet, overnight.
2. About 45 minutes before serving, remove the beans from the refrigerator and let them sit, still covered, on the counter. Just before serving, add lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and pepper. Stir well, taste, and add more vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper if needed.
