Lemony Green Beans With Walnuts And Thyme - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in the green beans. Simmer over medium-high heat until beans are just barely cooked and still bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water. Drain and set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add drained beans, nuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, and thyme. Continue to cook until most of the juice has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper. Serve immediately.
