This recipe uses steamed chestnuts to put an autumn twist on garlic green beans. I first discovered this slightly-sweet, and soft version of the holiday nut a couple of years ago when a stuffing recipe I wanted to make included them. Since then, I always look for steamed chestnuts around the holidays. Trader Joe's has them for cheap (around $4 for 6 oz.).
INGREDIENTS
12 oz green beans
4 oz steamed chestnuts
3 garlic cloves, sliced
DIRECTIONS
Heat extra virgin olive oil on medium in a large skillet. Add green beans to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Cook the green beans until crisp tender. Then add chestnuts and garlic and cook about 5 minutes more until garlic is golden and chestnuts are warmed.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
