Ingredients
- 1 pound green string beans (ends trimmed and cut in half)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (you can add it bit more if you like)
- 1/4 cup walnuts (toasted and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 2 to 3 teaspoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: Walnuts ... Add the walnuts to a dry saute pan and bring to medium high heat. Cook just a couple of minutes until you can smell the nuts. Toasting just bring out their natural oils and, they taste better. Once they cool, lightly chop.
-
Step 2: Beans ... Add the beans to a large saute pan and fill with 1" or so of water, just so the beans are almost covered. I prefer to use a pan vs a pot - the beans cook quicker and more even. Simmer on medium heat until the beans are tender.
-
Step 3: Finish ... Drain the beans and stir in the orange juice, butter, cranberries, and walnuts. Toss lightly.
-
Step 4: Serve ... Simply ENJOY!
