    Green Beans With Pesto


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 c Loosely Packed Basil Leaves
    2 tb Walnuts
    1 cl Garlic, peeled
    1/4 c Olive Oil
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Black Pepper
    1 lb Green Beans, ends trimmed

    Recipe



    Place the basil, walnuts, and garlic in the work bowl of a food processor
    or in a blender. Process, scraping down the sides as needed, until the
    ingredients are finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly pour the
    oil through the feed tube and process until smooth. Scrape the pesto into
    a large bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper and set aside briefly while
    cooking the beans.

    Bring some water to a boil in a steamer pot. Place the beans in the top
    part of the steamer and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Let any water
    drip from the beans and then place them into the bowl with the pesto.
    Toss gently and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
