👨‍🍳 Method

1. Build the Base

1. Add the olive oil and garlic to a medium pot over medium‑low heat.
2. When the garlic begins to sizzle, cook for 30 seconds, taking care not to brown it.
3. Add the beans and black pepper; stir to coat evenly.
4. Cover and cook for 5 minutes to warm and soften the beans.
