Preparation

Put the olive oil and garlic in a sauté pan, then heat over medium heat until the garlic begins to turn light golden. Increase the heat to medium and add the green beans.

Do not stir the green beans, you want them to sear on one side. Allow the beans to cook until just beginning to soften. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. Season to taste with salt.

Remove the pan from the heat. Shred the pieces of jamon into slices. Toss them with the green beans and serve.
