I love green beans and this is a wonderful way to serve them. I used a bit more zest than called for. Next time I'll leave out the parsley.

Green beans are a great standby vegetable and I am always looking for new and different ways to prepare them. This has a very lightl lemon flavor and the toasted pine nuts add not only to the flavor but provide a nice crunch. The only thing I might do is to add a touch of lemon juice for a slightly stronger lemon flavor.

Served this at a dinner party and everone seemed to enjoy the beans, but the nuts all sifted to the bottom of the bowl and were difficult to get. I love pine nuts so this was a real disappointment. Anyone else have this issue? We still liked the flavor very much.

I liked this, but even being a lemon lover I found the lemon zest a little overpowering in this.. LOVED the pine nuts though and will definiately make it again, with just the pine nuts and no zest. Considering the rave reviews that the other reviewers gave this, it HAS to be just personal taste here, because I'm so much the odd one out... I just found it too lemon-ey.. and bite my tongue I never say THAT very often! Please see my rating system: an excellent recipe to have tried and tasted but which unfortunately wasn't suited to our tastes .. at least as written. I will make it again though, becuase the addition of the pine nuts does make the texture of the dish a whole lot more interesting, Thanks!
