Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in the green beans. Simmer over medium-high heat until beans are just barely cooked and still bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water. Drain and set aside.

Step 2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add drained beans, nuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, and thyme. Continue to cook until most of the juice has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips

Cook's Note: This recipe has a lot of tangy lemon flavor. If you're concerned about tartness, start with the juice of ½ lemon, adding more to taste.
