  1. I used half the goat cheese and thyme and skipped the butter. The combination of goat cheese, walnuts and olive oil really makes the flavor great. You could probably sub other veggies besides green beans as well, depending on what's your favorite.
     
  2. Quick and easy dish. Thorughly enjoyed by DH and myself. I also used dried thyme and went 50/50 with geen and butter beans. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap Dec 2012.
