Don't like Green Beans, you will love this recipe!


Lemon-Dill Green Beans

Green beans are very plentiful in the markets this time of year.  If you like most people you steam them and add butter.  Well this is a recipe that will totally change your thinking. I have even had some comments in cooking classes that they don't normally like green beans ... but love this recipe. 

Ingredients

1 pound green beans, trimmed
4 teaspoons diced fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced shallots or sweet onion
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add green beans, cover and cook until tender-crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk dill, shallot, oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving to blend flavors.
