A salty-sweet side dish sure to please veggie-lovers and sweet-tooths alike! I can normally find a good-sized bag of fresh green beans at a fruit stand or farmer's market for about a dollar. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green beans; cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Mix in the walnuts, and pour in water. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until very little water is left in the pan.
2. Add the salt, white sugar, and brown sugar; stir until beans and walnuts are evenly coated. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
