Arizona Midday

Today I cooked Green Beans with Walnuts on Arizona Midday with Jan D'Atri.   Arizona Midday is on Channel 12, the NBC station in Phoenix.

Green Beans with Walnuts

2 pounds fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons walnut oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Pepper and salt to taste

Place the walnuts on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes to toast. Cook beans in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse beans with cold water and drain well. Melt butter with oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add means and toss until heated through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add walnuts and parsley and toss.
