Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans (washed & trimmed)
  • ⅓ cup pine nuts (roasted)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 oz crumbled cheese ([I used Castello Traditional Danish Blue Cheese])
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)

Method

  1. Wash and trim the green beans. Pat dry and set aside.
  2. In a pan bring some water to boil. Add green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove from water and drain. You want beans to be crispy, so do not over-boil them.
  3. In a pan, add unsalted butter. Let it melt and swirl around till it turns amber in color. This will take around 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked beans. Saute for a minute till it's well coated with the butter.
  5. Add cranberries, roasted pine nuts, salt and pepper and mix.
  6. Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle crumbled blue cheese on top. Serve immediately.
