Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 pounds asparagus, tough ends discarded and halved crosswise at a sharp diagonal
- 1/2 pound string beans, tops trimmed and halved crosswise at a sharp diagonal
- 1 bunch scallions (about 8)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a 5- to 6-quart pot of water seasoned with 1 tablespoon kosher salt to a boil. Cook asparagus and string beans until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain, then transfer in a single layer to paper or kitchen towels to dry.
- Separate white parts from green parts of scallions. Halve whites lengthwise. Halve green parts lengthwise and again in half crosswise. You should have approximately 3-inch pieces.

- Add asparagus, green beans, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and sauté to heat through, 1 minute. Add green parts of scallions and continue to sauté until they just begin to wilt, about 1 minute more. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve with a fresh grind of black pepper.
