green beans, 3 ways (#2).

Finally getting around to continuing what I started here!  Since I had some pork with a dijon mustard rub (dijon, olive oil, herbes de provence, salt & pepper), it seemed perfect for French inspired green beans.  

Base Recipe

Handful of trimmed green beans first partially steamed in the microwave (or stovetop but I don't like to wash that many pans). Then follow recipe below.  Note: The pre-steaming just cooks them a lot faster.

French Inspired Green Beans.

Handful of green beans

1 garlic clove (a small one)

Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
Sprinkle herbes de provence

Chopped walnuts

Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a skillet while green beans steam.  Add garlic and saute until fragrant.  Add green beans, lemon juice and lemon zest, salt and pepper.  Saute until the flavors combine, about 3-5 minutes.  Top with chopped walnuts to serve.
