Quick Zesty Green Beans

We are trying to eat more veggies so I, of course, am looking for some good ways to prepare them. Here is a new one we tried (and liked) this week

Quick Zesty Green Beans

1 pound fress green beans, stem ends removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1/3 cup pecan pieces
Salt to taste

Bring a large or of water to a boil. Add green beans, return to boil and cook 1 minute; the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans; don't rinse. In a large skillet or wok, add oil. Heat until very hot. Add beans and cook about 1 minute, turning often with tongs or spatula. Sprinkle on pecans and cajun seasoning. Turn the beans to coat with oil and spices; cook about 2 minutes more, or until beans and nuts are slightly browned. Salt to taste and serve.


I am always looking for more, so please share any you like!
