ingredients
- 1 lb French style green bean, trimmed (haricots verts)
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced (2 cloves)
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
- 3 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, minced
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
directions
- Place pine nuts in a dry sauté pan over low heat and cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
- Drain beans in a colander and immediately put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color.
- To make gremolata, toss lemon zest, parsley, parmesan, and pine nuts together in a small bowl and set aside.
- Drain beans and pat dry.
- When ready to serve, heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add garlic and saute for 1 minute.
- Add beans to skillet and sauté, turning frequently, 2 minutes, until coated with olive oil and heated through.
- Remove beans from hot pan and transfer to a serving platter or bowl (adding the gremolata mixture directly to the hot pan will melt the parmesan and make it gooey, even if the pan is off the heat).
- Add the gremolata to the beans, and toss well.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
