  1       sm           Garlic clove, minced

 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

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