Sauteed Green Beans With Lemon And Walnuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb green beans (washed and trimmed)
3 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Toast the walnuts in a medium-heat iron skillet, on the stove top, stirring constantly until fragrant ~ be careful they don't burn!
Steam beans until barely tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes.
In a saute pan, heat the butter, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chicken stock over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
Add the beans and simmer until beans are cooked through, about 2 minutes more.
Top beans with the walnuts and serve.
