Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp.

2. Drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of cold water briefly to stop cooking, then drain well again.

3. Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced fennel and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until just softened and lightly browned at the edges.

4. Add the green beans to the skillet and toss with the fennel for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.

6. Scatter the chopped basil and crumbled feta over the top and serve warm or at room temperature.
