  • Yields: 8 Servings

Ingredients

¾ cup pecans

kosher salt and black pepper

2 pounds green beans, trimmed

1 shallot, minced

¼ cup olive oil

Dijon Maple Sauce

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 Tablespoon pure maple syrup

Directions

Dijon Maple Sauce

1In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the green beans and pecans and toss to combine.

2Heat oven to 400º F. Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until toasted, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then roughly chop.

3Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of salted boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and transfer beans to a large bowl of ice water.

4Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add shallots, and sauté for 1 minute. Add beans and continue to sauté until beans are crisp-tender. Add the Dijon Maple Sauce and stir to evenly coat the beans. Sprinkle with pecans and serve.
