Fast and Fancy Green Beans

Ingredients

Serves: Prep:  15min |Cook: 15min |Total: 30min
              

Directions

1.
Put garlic and 1 teaspoon of the oil in large pot and cook over medium heat until just beginning to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes.
2.
Add water and beans, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
3.
Place 1 cup of the beans in small food processor along with basil, almonds, and vinegar. Pulse until mixture is thoroughly chopped and sticks together. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon oil.
4.
Stir pureed mixture into remaining beans to coat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Recipe Tips
Prepare the pestolike pureed bean sauce up to 3 days ahead, if you like. Cook the rest of the beans and combine them with the sauce a couple of hours before serving. This lush veggie tastes as good at room temperature as warm--a boon when you're trying to get everything on the table at once.
Recipe Notes
This recipe purees some of the green beans into a matching pesto sauce--double the flavor
