Steps:
- cut steam end off of 1 lb fresh green beans. (use fresh frozen when out of season).
- in medium sauce pan bring water to a boil. place green beans in mesh strainer and steam them. (should be hot all the way through while retaining garden fresh snap).
- while beans are steaming, melt butter in med saute pan. when butter is lightly caramelized (just turning a light brown color) add pine nuts.
- saute nuts till butter reaches preferred amount of caramelized color. (I like it to be well caramelized, some people don't though.).
- if you want sauce a little thicker just stir in a pinch of arrow root. Be careful with this as it doesn't take much.
- slice cherry tomatoes in fourths.
- plate green beans all in one direction, spoon a little sauce over middle of beans, place a piece of sliced cherry tomato on top.
- makes an attractive addition to any meal.
Tips:
- Choose the right beans: For a smooth and creamy texture, use dried beans that have been soaked and cooked until tender. Canned beans can also be used, but they may not be as flavorful.
- Use a high-quality nut butter: The type of nut butter you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your bean dip. Choose a nut butter that is made from roasted nuts and that has a smooth and creamy texture.
- Add some spices: A little bit of spice can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your bean dip. Try adding some cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder to taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making bean dips. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create a dip that is uniquely your own.
