Caramelized Green Beans with Walnuts
A salty-sweet side dish sure to please veggie-lovers and sweet-tooths alike! I can normally find a good-sized bag of fresh green beans at a fruit stand or farmer's market for about a dollar.
Ingreadient
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Direction
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add green beans; cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Mix in the walnuts, and pour in water. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until very little water is left in the pan.
- Add the salt, white sugar, and brown sugar; stir until beans and walnuts are evenly coated. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 5 more minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
