Ingredients
Method
Fill large bowl with ice water; set aside. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook green beans, in 2 batches, until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. With tongs, transfer to ice water; stir until beans are cold. Remove immediately and pat dry. (Make-ahead: Wrap in towel; enclose in plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Place onions in another bowl. Cover with boiling water and let stand for 1 minute. Drain and peel.
In large shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry onions until golden in places, about 8 minutes. Add 2/3 cup (150 mL) water and garlic; cover and simmer until onions are tender and almost no liquid remains, about 10 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours. Reheat over medium heat.)
Add beans, lemon juice, salt and pepper; cook, tossing, until beans are hot, about 5 minutes.
