Cashew Honey Green Beans

Another thing we eat a lot of is green beans. I think my mom served us canned green beans twice a week. These green beans are simple and so delicious.



Green Beans in Honey Cashew Sauce

Water
Kosher salt
16 ounces green beans
2 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup cashews, chopped
2 tablespoons honey

Trim the ends from the green beans and if necessary, “string” them by pulling the fibrous strings from one end of the bean’s crease to the other.

You could also just cut the ends of the beans. That is what I did.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Immediately drain the beans.

In a large skillet, sauté the cashews in butter over low heat until the nuts are lightly browned— about 5-7 minutes. Add honey and stir constantly for 1 minute.

Pour the honey-cashew sauce over the beans and toss to coat evenly. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
