37 Reviews of Nutty Green Beans

by Bergy

Didn't imagine something this easy could taste so great! French beans and walnuts really go wonderfully together. Next time, I'll stir the beans into the sauce, instead of the other way round... that way none of the beans get left out Also Bergy, all your veggie recipes that I've tried have that uncanny "don't-you-dare-cook-me-for-a-second-longer" crunch that's pretty darn out of this world... thanks a ton!

    Simple, but tasty. I used sliced almonds (toasted) as my nut, and added a bit of ginger powder. Delicious!

    Everyone but DS really liked these. He didn't like the vinegar taste. Next time I think I might take it a little easy on the vinegar, however, the rest of us didn't notice. My not as picky eater DD had 2nds and 3rds! They were really crispy and that wasn't bad but I think I'll cook them a little longer next time. I'm cooking them this Thanksgiving to go with Roasted Turkey and Potato, Pumpkin and Ham Bake (on Zaar). I like green been casseroles but when everything else is so rich I like to have the green beans without all the sauces and soups and this dish is perfect. It's light but flavorful and is a great accompaniment for anything. I really like the flavor of the pecans too. Thanks Bergy!

    Very good! Thank you for sharing this newer way to make green beans a little bit more interesting for "the crew".

    Hi Bergy..These are so easy and fast to make, they were a big hit for our dinner party. I had never used pecans with green beans before and the flavor was outstanding. I doubled the recipes. (big eaters) and it was wonderful with the seafood menu. thanks so much. 2 thumbs up.

    These were so easy and delicious. I also added some bacon pieces. They were a big hit on Christmas day.

    I'm here to add my accolades to all the others. These were delicious and easy. I used pecans and squeezed a wedge of lemon over them just prior to serving. Thanks!

    These were a nice change of pace and looked very attractive on the dinner table. I thought the flavor was good, just not five stars.

    Wonderful green beans. Using fresh green beans is essential for the success of this recipe. I followed your directions and the only change in ingredients was to use more balsamic vinegar. I doubled the amount. The pecans were a bonus. Easy and elegant. Thanks Bergy.
