Hope you enjoy it too.

 

Ingredients:

400 grams of Green Beans

1 x medium Red Onion – cut into wedges

2 cloves of Garlic – finely chopped

1/3 cup of Feta – crumbled

40 grams of Pine Nuts – toasted

1/2 fresh Lemon

Salt & Pepper to your liking (add a little chilli too if you like)

2 Tbls of Butter

1 Tbls of Olive Oil

 

Method:

1. Top and tail the Green Beans and cut into bit sized sections.

2. On a low-med heat toast the pine nuts in a dry fry pan. Turn them regularly & be very careful as they will quickly burn due to the oils they contain.

3. Heat the Butter & Olive Oil in a large saucepan at a medium heat.

4. Saute the Beans for a couple of minutes and then add the garlic and onion.

5. Squeeze the Lemon juice over the bean mixture and then saute until the Beans are al dente.

6. Transfer the bean mixture to a serving bowl and allow to cool to desired temperature.

7. Before serving, add the crumbled Feta, Pine Nuts & dress with a little more Olive Oil if desired.

Enjoy!!
