    Shredded Green Beans

    Green beans can be considered boring because they often lack the bold flavors and excitement found in other vegetables…they rarely steal the spotlight in a dish. Fortunately, this recipe takes plain green beans to the next flavor level with fresh herbs and citrus.

    3/4  pound green beans, tops and tails trimmed

    2  tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

    2  tbsp water

    1/4  cup chopped fresh chives

    Grated zest from 1 large lemon

    Grated zest from 1 large lime

    Fine-grained sea salt, to taste

    Ground black pepper, to taste

    1. Slice beans on the diagonal into roughly 1/8-inch pieces. If you’re using a food processor, do them a handful at a time. They should look like tiny, angular zeros.

    2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans and stir until coated in oil, then add water. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes, until beans are brightly colored and tender; shake the pan midway through to ensure even cooking.

    3. Remove from heat and stir in half the chives and both zests. Season with salt and pepper, and serve garnished with remaining chives.

    Serves: 4
