Beans:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanche them for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Drain the beans in a colander and immediately put them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green colour.

Drain the beans and pat dry.

Toss the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and parsley in a shallow serving dish; set aside.
Add the beans to the gremolata and toss well. Sprinkle with 3/4 salt and pepper; serve or refrigerate.
