Green Beans with Toasted Pine Nuts


INGREDIENTS

1 pound fresh green beans

1/4 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 


METHOD
1. In a large saute pan, bring 5 cups water to a boil. Drop the green beans into the water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, then run cold water over them for a few seconds to stop the cooking process. This will ensure that you don't end up with soft and mushy beans.
2. In the same pan, cook the pine nuts in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat, stirring, until the nuts begin to turn golden brown. Return the
3. green beans to the pan along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt and pepper. Saute until the beans are heated through.
