Ingredients
- 20 fresh green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 ½ - 2 tablespoons Spanish chorizo diced
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- pinch ground black pepper
- fresh lemon juice no more than ¼ teaspoon
Instructions
- Cook Beans: Bring medium to large skillet up to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoons butter and let melt. Add 20 fresh green beans. Stir green beans every so often and let cook for approximately 2-3 minutes. Add an additional 1 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Let green beans continue to cook, stirring occasionally. You want the butter and oil to be absorbed and cooked down so that the beans start to brown a little, should be about 5 more minutes.
- Combine: Add 1 ½ - 2 tablespoons Spanish chorizo, 1 tablespoon pine nuts, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch ground black pepper. Mix to combine and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Continue stirring for approx. 2 minutes.
- Serve: Taste the beans for salt and pepper levels. Enjoy immediately!
