Recipe by Mary Pappas, Richmond, Virginia
Increase both the flavor and texture of your green beans by adding chopped pecans, fresh rosemary and grated lemon rind.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 green onions, sliced (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- Garnish: fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Sprinkle green beans evenly with 1/4 tsp. salt, and place in a steamer basket over boiling water; cover and steam 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Plunge green beans into ice water to stop the cooking process, and drain.
- Sauté green onions and rosemary in hot oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until softened. Add green beans, pecans, lemon rind, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, stirring until thoroughly heated. Garnish, if desired, and serve immediately.
