Butter-Glazed French Beans with Toasted Pine Nuts

Butter-Glazed French Beans with Toasted Pine Nuts

Ingredients

• 1 lb French green beans (haricots verts), trimmed
• 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon (chicken flavor)
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 tbsp unsalted Kerrygold butter
• 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

1. Blister the beans. Heat a large skillet over high. Add the French beans and let them char in spots, tossing occasionally—about 2–3 minutes.
2. Simmer and soften. Add 1/3 cup water and 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon. Stir to dissolve, cover the pan, and cook over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, just until beans are tender.
3. Reduce and glaze. Uncover and continue cooking until most of the liquid evaporates and the remaining broth thickens slightly.
4. Butter it up. Turn off the heat and swirl in the butter until it coats the beans in a glossy glaze.
5. Top and season. Toss in toasted pine nuts, season with salt and black pepper, and serve warm.
