Green Beans with Lime

  • 2 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed

  • ⅓ c. fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

  • 1 Tbsp. snipped fresh rosemary

  • 2 tsp. finely shredded lime peel

  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (½ tsp.)

  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

  • ⅓ c. hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

  • (may substitute almonds)

  • 1. Bring large saucepan of water to boiling. Add 1 Tbsp salt and green beans. Cook beans until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and plunge immediately in ice water. Let beans sit in ice water 3 minutes or until cool. Drain well and set aside.

  • 2. In small bowl, combine parsley, rosemary, lime juice, lime peel, and garlic. Set aside.

  • 3. In 12 inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add beans. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3 t o 4 minutes or until heated through. Season with ½ tsp. salt and ½ tsp. black pepper. Remove from heat. Stir in lime mixture and hazelnuts and serve.

  • Tip: To toast hazelnuts, spread in single layer on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned. Remove papery skins from hazelnuts by rubbing nuts with clean towel.
