Buttered Green Beans with Hazelnuts
Ingredients
1 pound green beans, trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅓ cup chopped hazelnuts
1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
sea salt
Instructions
Drop the green beans in boiling, generously salted water and cook 3 – 5 minutes, until tender but still bright green. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt and bubble, swirling the pan. When the butter begins to foam, turn up the heat to medium-high and cook until the butter turns amber and smells nutty — this should take just a few minutes.
Take the butter off the heat and stir in the hazelnuts and thyme. Pour the butter over the beans and sprinkle with sea salt.
