Instructions
-1 Steam the green beans in a steamer basket inside a large saucepan on the stovetop until crisp tender. (You can also steam your green beans in their packaging or in the microwave if desired. Just follow packaging instructions.) -1 When the green beans reach the desired consistency, remove from the heat, and set aside. -1 While the green beans steam, toast the whole pine nuts in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Continually move the pine nuts around the pan using a wooden spoon so they don't cook too much. When all the pine nuts are golden brown, remove them from the skillet. -1 Pour a teaspoon of olive oil into the already warm skillet, and cook the shallot until softened. Remove from the heat and mix with the pine nuts. -1 Serve the green beans on a large plate, and top with the pine nut and shallot mixture. -1 Drizzle with the additional olive oil before serving, and enjoy!View original recipe
