Harvest Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb fresh green beans
    1/2 cup pecans
    2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine
    2 teaspoons sesame seeds
    2 teaspoons sodium-free seasoning (I use Penzey's MURAL of FLAVOR)
    2 teaspoons honey
Preparation
    Wash the beans, and cut the stem end off. (this can be done a day ahead of time).
    To cook: Bring a pot of water (at least 2 quarts) to a rolling boil.
    While the water is coming to a boil, heat the butter/oil in a medium pan and simmer on low with the pecans.
    Once they are lightly browned, add the SESAME SEEDS and MURAL OF FLAVOR.
    Add the green beans to boiling water and cook 2 minutes.
    Drain and rinse the beans to stop the cooking, but leave them warm.
    Drizzle the pecan mix with the honey, stir regularly, then when the beans have been drained and rinsed, add them to the pan and toss with the seasoned nut mix.
    Place in a serving bowl.
    Cover the bowl with foil and place in a warm oven until ready to serve.
