Steps:
- Use the side of a chef's knife to crush the garlic. Mince it finely, then crush it again with the side of the knife. (If you have a mortar and pestle, you could use that.) Place the garlic in a small bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mash it together with a fork. Add 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and set aside.
- In a small skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. When hot, add the pecans. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until they are nutty and fragrant. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, sprinkle with a little salt, and set aside.
- In a large pot, add about 7 cups of water and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the green beans, cover, and set a timer for 3 minutes. Drain the green beans into a colander and rinse with cold water.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat in a large skillet. When it is hot, add the rinsed green beans. Saute for 5-6 minutes, or until the green beans reach the crisp-tender level that you want.
- Remove from heat and add the lemon-garlic mixture. Season with freshly ground pepper to taste. Toss in the pecans and the 1/2 cup feta. Serve with extra lemon wedges and lemon zest to garnish.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.

- Reduce heat to medium and stir in sugar until almost dissolved, then cook pecans, stirring, 1 minute.
- Add green beans, kosher salt, and pepper, and sauté beans, turning them with tongs, until heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve.

- Start with a large skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring frequently (careful, they burn quickly). After 3 minutes, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue stirring until they are fragrant and turning golden on the edges, about 1 to 3 more minutes. Transfer the almonds to a bowl to cool.
- Make sure the heat is set to medium-low and place the skillet back on the heat. Immediately add the green beans, water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are nearly tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the lid, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until the liquid evaporates, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Once the green beans are done cooking, whisk the olive oil mixture once more, then pour it into the skillet. Pour the almonds back into the skillet, and add about half of the feta, reserving the other half for garnish. Toss to combine, then taste and add more lemon juice or black pepper if necessary.
