Directions: |
Directions: Toast the pine nuts (single layer on an un-oiled baking sheet in an oven at 350 degrees) for about ten minutes or until golden brown. While the nuts are toasting, bring water to a boil in a small saucepan, and remove and discard the ends of the green beans. Ease the beans into the boiling water and cook them for about 3 to 6 minutes, or until just tender.
Combine the shallots or scallions, vinegar, oil, and herb of your choice in a medium bowl. Drain the beans thoroughly and immediately add them to the bowl, tossing them with the dressing. Stir in the toasted pine nuts. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, or chill for 20 minutes and then serve. (Trader Joe’s organic frozen green beans can be used instead of fresh.) |
