Crispy Green Beans with Pesto

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans. Submitted by: STEPFANIER

sounds good, but too high in carbohydrates, sodium, cholesterol, etc. I guess that's why it sounds good. - 3/5/09

You can always sub non-salt added tomato sauce in for regular sauce - no additional salt was used in this recipe. Also, 56mg per serving of cholesterol is not bad compared to consuming whole eggs! Carbs aren't a problem unless you're doing a low-carb diet, which is not good for me personally.
