Ingredients:
- 1 pinch white sugar
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions:

- 2 Combine the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter melts. Stir in the garlic; cook until pale beige and fragrant. Stir in the beans; cook until wilted, and garlic is dark brown, about 4 minutes. Toss beans with parsley and lemon zest, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer beans to a serving dish, and garnish with lemon wedges.
