Roasted hazelnuts and blue cheese add just a bit of pizazz to a favorite vegetable.

Ingredients

  • 605g string beans, fresh
  • 35g hazelnuts, raw
  • 50g blue cheese*, crumbled

Directions

  • Remove ends from green beans and wash well.
  • Toast hazelnuts in a toaster oven or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, until the skins are dark brown. Cool. Remove skins of nuts by rolling them between your hands until the skin falls off. Discard skins. Chop nuts coarsely and combine with blue cheese in a small bowl.
  • Bring about 2 cups (480mL) of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add beans and cook, covered for about 7 minutes, until they are bright green. Remove from heat and drain.
  • Place beans in a serving dish and sprinkle with blue cheese and hazelnut mixture. Serve immediately.

* Allergy notes: The egg protein lysozyme is an unlabeled additive in some cheeses. People allergic to eggs should eliminate any cheese in this recipe.
