Oregon is famous for terrific produce (we grow 40 acres of beans on our farm!) and hazelnuts. This recipe combines those two resources for a delectable side dish.—Earlene Ertelt, Woodburn, Oregon Ingredients:
1 pound fresh green beans, cut |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup toasted chopped hazelnuts |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, cover beans with water; cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, brown the butter. Add the hazelnuts, lemon juice, parsley, basil and salt; heat through. Drain beans; add the butter mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
