3/4pound green and/or yellow string beans, trimmed
3tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
2cups baby or regular arugula, trimmed and chopped

  1. Heat the grill to medium-high.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the string beans with the olive oil and garlic. Let the beans rest for 10 minutes or so, then place the beans on a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold the foil over the beans and fold down the ends of the foil twice.
