Parmesan and Herb Green Beans

Servings: 8


INGREDIENTS

  • 750 g (26 oz) frozen cut green beans (or fresh)
  • 43 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter
  • 15 g (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • 30 g (4 oz) cut Kalamata olives
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 65 g (1 cup) Parmesan cheese (grated)

DIRECTIONS

  • 1.   In a deep saucepan, add the frozen, sliced green beans, oil, butter, Kalamata olives (sliced not whole), and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat all the green beans well

  • 2.   Simmer uncovered over medium heat until the beans are cooked but still al dente, about 5-8 minutes (depending on the heat)

  • 3.   Add the grated parmesan cheese (reserve about 2 tbsp for garnish) and toss well. Continue stirring until the cheese looks slightly melted and is sticking to the beans, about 2-3 minutes. The green beans can be served as a hot or cold side dish.

  • 4.   Before serving use the reserved cheese and sprinkle over the beans. You do not need much cheese, a little will look nice.
