I love Jayme’s recipes, they’re clean, easy, pack a huge punch and are always delicious. This is  how she does green beans, and they’re freakin’ tasty. Perfect for a side dish or lunch at work. Maybe even a beach picnic…

You’ll need:

• 1  1/2 lb green beans, trimmed
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Do this:

1. Cook beans in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes, and drain well in a colander.
2. Add pine nuts to a hot frying pan and shake pan continually for about 1 minute until pine nuts are aromatic and changing color. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Using the same pan add the green beans to brown very slightly and remove more of the water about 1-2 minutes.
4. Transfer to same bowl as the pine nuts. Add parsley, zest, lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper to green beans and pine nuts, toss to coat. Serve room temperature.
