BLISTERED GREEN BEANS WITH HERB SAUCE



Blistered Green Beans with Herb Sauce image

The green sauce in this recipe is similar to pesto, but lacks cheese and has a bigger punch of acidity. The mild flavor of pistachios enhances the natural sweetness of the lightly charred beans, though the more traditional pine nut would also work well for this dish.

GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON-HERB BUTTER



Green Beans With Lemon-Herb Butter image

This is a super quick recipe that uses fresh French green beans but would work equally well with frozen. The recipe was printed in Betty Crocker Thansgiving booklet, November 2005. The recipe calls for butter. Please do not sub margarine! The original recipe called for dried marjoram leaves. Not having those I used Penzeys Bouquet Garni with rewarding results.
