Carrots and Green Beans with Lemon, Garlic and Rosemary

Fill a large saucepan with water and add salt; bring to a boil. Add green beans. Cook, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes or until beans turn bright green. Use a slotted spoon to transfer beans to a large bowl filled with cold water and ice.

Return water in saucepan to boil. Add carrots. Cook, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly tender. Drain and transfer carrots to another bowl filled with cold water and ice to stop cooking.

Drain beans and carrots separately, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the carrots; cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add the green beans and cook vegetables for 3 minutes more or until crisp-tender. Stir in rosemary and lemon zest; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl.
