Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 3-4 cups water
  • 1 pound green beans (fresh or frozen)

  • 1/4 cup balsamic or raspberry vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, chervil or basil
  • salt
  • ground black pepper

Directions

Toast the pine nuts for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
While the nuts are toasting, cook the beans until just tender.
Combine the shallots or scallions, vinegar, oil, and herb of your choice in a medium bowl.
Drain the beans thoroughly and immediately add them to the bowl, tossing them with the dressing. Stir in the toasted pine nuts. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, or chill for 20 minutes and then serve.

These are your mother's green beans now!
