Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons feta crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 1 tablespoon pistachio nuts chopped
  • Flake salt to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pistachio nuts and fry for 1 minute. Add the pesto and green beans. Toss to coat well. Leave it on the heat for about 2 minutes, just to heat it through. Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle on the feta and toss carefully. Do not stir or the feta will mix in too much.
  • Serve immediately.
