We enjoyed this super easy side dish as part of a turkey dinner. I bought the pepitas at Whole Foods. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (December 2009) Ingredients:
1 lb green beans, trimmed |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1/2 cup pepitas (shelled, raw pumpkin seeds) |
kosher salt |
2 teaspoons rosemary, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
Directions:
1. Cook green beans in pan of boiled salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut beans into 1-inch pieces.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add pepitas (pumpkin seeds), tossing until they pop and brown (5-10 minutes); sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
3. **** green beans can be prepared 2 hours ahead to this point. Let stand at room temperature.
4. Heat remaining oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add rosemary and garlic; stirring for about 15 seconds or so before adding beans and pepitas. Toss until heated through (2-5 minutes).
