When it comes to cook green beans, this simple but elegant recipe is my favorite and always wins over!
Ingredients:
2 lb. of fresh green beans, washed, trimmed and steamed
1 garlic clove
salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup lightly toasted pine nuts, just to bring flavor out
2 tbs. balsamic vinegar, I prefer aged
2-3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
fresh basil
Directions: 1. Cook beans in a steam basket until bright green. I like my beans still slightly crispy. 2. Transfer beans to the bowl 3. Chop garlic finely and add to beans 4.Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil . Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve topped with lightly toasted pine nuts, fresh basil and fresh sourdough bread. Can be served as appetizer or a side dish
Notes: Try to add fresh ground lemon peel for a citrusy note
