--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       lb           Green beans
   1       tb           Butter
   1       tb           Olive oil
   1       sm           Garlic clove, minced
   2                    Scallions, finely chopped
     1/2   c            Pimento-stuffed green olives
                         -- sliced
   1 1/2   tb           Lemon juice
                        Salt and pepper

  Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water
  until just tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.  Drain in a
  colander and plunge immediately into ice water to stop
  the cooking.  Drain again, and cut into 1" pieces. Set
  aside. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet.
  Add garlic and scallions and saute until softened.
  Add beans, olives and lemon juice; saute until heated
  through.  Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve
  immediately.

  delicious combination we enjoyed throughout the green
  bean season this year."
