Instructions: In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine water, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne.

Heat the oil in a 10" enamel skillet over moderately high heat. Add cumin seeds and stir 3-4 seconds. Add green beans and saue for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic mixture, reduce heat to low, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until beans are just tender. Increase the heat to high and cook the beans, uncovered, stirring constantly, until the liquid has evaporated.
