Green Beans with Toasted Walnuts
Green beans are so good that they don't need anything added to them at all. However, it's fun to change things up a bit. This recipe adds toasted walnuts to give regular green beans a flavor boost.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh or frozen green beans
- ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon tarragon
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely diced toasted walnuts
Instructions
- Wash fresh beans thoroughly and trim ends. Cut into bite-size pieces. If using a steamer, cook 20-22 minutes. If boiling, cover the beans with cold water in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until crisp tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain green beans, and stir in olive oil, salt, tarragon, pepper, and walnuts. Serve immediately.
- Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about ½ cup)
Notes
- Substitute the walnuts with pecans.
- Serve with Blackened Lentils and Onions, Brown Rice Stir-fry with Orange Sauce, or Two-Bean Burger.

Great! Tarragon is nice, right? Very unique flavor. 🙂
This was wonderful!! I didn’t have any tarragon but I used an Italian herb grater and it was still…well I am exercising self control by not finishing them all off. I can’t get over how simple it was!!
