These garlic green beans can be made with other nuts, or bacon if you want. I have only made this dish with fresh green beans, but it would probably work OK with frozen one. In that case, I would defrost the beans, but not cook them before the final step. The carb count is similar.
Ingredients:
1 lb. green beans, remove stem end
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
3 tbsp pine nuts
1 salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Cook green beans for 2 to 3 minutes, either in a lot of salted boiling water (preferred) or in the microwave. You want them to be just barely fork-tender, but still retain their bright green color.
2. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat until hot, and sauté crushed garlic and pine nuts for about a minute, until garlic is fragrant.
