Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1/4 cup(s) white onion, diced
2 clove(s) garlic, peeled and minced
1 pound(s) green beans, trimmed and sliced on the diagonal into 1" pieces (frozen green beans ok!)
- kosher salt or similar coarse salt, to taste
- cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 - fresh squeezed orange juice (save some of the zest for garnish, if desired also when available try other orange varieties: cara cara, blood orange, etc.)
1 tablespoon(s) apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoon(s) pistachios, toasted + more for garnish

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced white onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Toss in the green beans and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook mixture until the green beans begin to soften, about 5-6 minutes.
Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and apple cider vinegar. Cook, stirring occasionally for another 6-8 minutes or until the green beans are thoroughly cooked and the sauce is slightly thickened.
Transfer the green beans to a serving platter, garnish with the toasted pistachios (and orange zest if using); serve hot.
