Provided by chefmick

Categories     Vegetable

Time 9m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb green beans
1/4 cup butter
4 tablespoons pine nuts
4 cherry tomatoes
2 cups water

Steps:

  • cut steam end off of 1 lb fresh green beans. (use fresh frozen when out of season).
  • in medium sauce pan bring water to a boil. place green beans in mesh strainer and steam them. (should be hot all the way through while retaining garden fresh snap).
  • while beans are steaming, melt butter in med saute pan. when butter is lightly caramelized (just turning a light brown color) add pine nuts.
  • saute nuts till butter reaches preferred amount of caramelized color. (I like it to be well caramelized, some people don't though.).
  • if you want sauce a little thicker just stir in a pinch of arrow root. Be careful with this as it doesn't take much.
  • slice cherry tomatoes in fourths.
  • plate green beans all in one direction, spoon a little sauce over middle of beans, place a piece of sliced cherry tomato on top.
  • makes an attractive addition to any meal.

This recipe is not very good. The green beans were overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and salt to taste and it was much better.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out creamy. It was more like a paste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I had some leftover from a salad I made earlier in the week and they were perfect for this dish.
