Grilled Romano Beans

• 1/2 lb green romano beans, ends trimmed
• extra virgin olive oil (I used roughly 3 tablespoons of olive oil-a good quality one!)
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
• sea salt (I used medium-coarse Sicilian salt)
• pecorino romano cheese, freshly grated (optional, or other strongly flavored Italian cheese such as Parmesan, grana padano, etc.)

1. Heat grill pan over medium heat for 4 or 5 minutes. Tip: if using an outdoor grill, thread the beans crosswise on bamboo skewers (skewers soaked in water first) on both the top and bottom of the beans.
2. In a shallow pan, lightly coat beans by rolling them in the olive oil.
3. Place the Romano beans on grill pan in a single layer and grill 4 minutes on each side.
4. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the minced garlic, sprinkle with sea salt and cheese, if using.
5. Servings are estimated.
