How to Make Green Beans With Garlic And Pine Nuts
- Bring a large pot of salted water (about 4 quarts) to a boil.
- Add 1 pound of frozen French-cut green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of pine nuts and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the green beans well and add them to the skillet with the garlic and pine nuts.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss gently to combine and coat the green beans evenly.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately. (Make-ahead instructions below)
- **Make-Ahead Instructions:** Blanch the green beans by boiling until tender-crisp (see step 2).
- Immediately plunge the green beans into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Drain the green beans thoroughly and refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. When ready to serve, sauté with the garlic and pine nuts as described in steps 3-7.
- Heat the green beans until warmed through.
