Here's a crowd-pleasing side that's easy on the pocketbook: just 67 cents per serving! If money is no object, consider finishing with a flourish of white truffle oil. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
4 cups thinly vertically sliced onion |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook the green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, and drain well.

Add 4 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and thyme to pan; cook 17 minutes or until onion is very tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove onion mixture from pan; keep warm.
3. Return pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add green beans; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
