Description
This easy recipe makes simple green bean into something special. Roasted walnut oil delivers more flavour, but if you can’t get it, plain oil is fine, too.
Ingredients
1 pound green beans, ends removed
1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
2 tablespoons fresh, minced basil leaves
1 tablespoon roasted walnut oil
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Boil beans for 5 minutes in plenty of fresh, slightly salted water. Drain. (The beans should be tender-crisp. Cooking time may vary depending on the variety of bean used and the distance the bean traveled in shipping. Seasonal beans take less time since their skin is thinner.)
Toss the beans with the walnuts and basil. Drizzle with oil and toss again to coat.
Season to taste and serve immediately.
