Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

• 1 pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
• 4 Tbsp. butter
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Place washed and trimmed green beans in a gallon-size zip-lock plastic bag. Poke holes in the top with a knife to allow steam to escape. 2. Place the bag in the microwave with the holes facing up. Heat on high 3-6 minutes, until green beans are crisp-tender. Do not overcook. Check at 3 minutes. 3. Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once melted, turn heat down to medium-low and let butter simmer until it turns brown. Be careful! Butter burns easily, so you will want to watch it, turning heat down if necessary. When the butter starts to give off a nutty aroma, it's ready. 4. Add walnuts to the butter and let cook a minute or two. Add green beans and salt. Toss until well-coated. Cook another minute. Serve immediately.
