P3 Brown Butter Green Beans with Pine Nuts

Brown Butter Green Beans with Pine Nuts

1 lbs Green Beans -- trimmed
3 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Pine Nuts -- chopped
2 tbsp Lemon zest


Bring a 4 to 6 a pot of well salted water to boil over high heat. Add the green
beans and cook until tender to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the beans in a
colander.

Return the pot to the stove over low heat and melt the butter in the pot. Add
the pine nuts and 1/4 tsp salt. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring
constantly until the butter browns and the pine nuts turn mostly golden, 3 to 5
minutes. Remove from heat, add the green beans and 1/2 tsp salt and lemon zest.
Toss to combine thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
