Green Beans with Lemon and Pine Nuts

This vibrant side dish of green beans with lemon and pine nuts is a masterclass in simplicity. By briefly blanching the beans until they are just tender, you preserve their bright colour and fresh snap. The addition of toasted pine nuts provides a buttery crunch, while the fresh lemon zest and flat-leaf parsley offer a fragrant lift that cuts through the richness of the extra-virgin olive oil.

As a naturally vegan and gluten-free option, this versatile dish fits perfectly into a plant-based diet or serves as a light, healthy accompaniment to a Sunday roast. It is particularly effective for those looking for a quick, homemade side that feels sophisticated enough for a dinner party but is simple enough for a midweek meal. Serve it warm or at room temperature for a delicious touch of Mediterranean flavour.
