Very good and easy. I had a bunch of fresh green beans from my dad, had to use them in a creative way. The green beans were the star of my meal. I served them with simply seasoned grilled chicken breast and the 90 second garlic rice. Easy and quick, not to mention good for you. I did think something was missing, so I added a few tablespoons of lemon juice and extra salt. Thanks for posting!

I'd give this 10 stars if I could. This is definitely not boring green beans. Thoroughly enjoyed the mix of pepper and cashews. Who knew? I cut the oil back to 1 1/2 tsp and thought that was plenty in a nonstick pan. I recommend you don't skip the fresh parsley, it really added to the flavor.

very easy side dish, the kids loved the cashews in the mix. i threw in some mushrooms, i needed to use them up, and i used vidalia onions because they're in season and i can't get enough of them.
