GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND WALNUTS

Side dish - vegetarian - vegan


1 1/2 lb green beans, cut into 2" pieces
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 tbsp lemon juice


Put a pot of water to a boil, add salt and green beans and cook until desired doneness; drain and pat dry.

In a large and deep skillet (big enough to contain all ingredients), over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and sautee the shallot until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the green beans and cook, tossing, until heated through.

Stir in lemon juice and walnuts, season with salt and pepper (optional) and serve immediately.


This recipe serves 4-6
