Haricots Verts and Potatoes with Pesto image

This is a simple recipe with commonly found ingredients that can be prepared relatively quickly. The pesto adds tons of complex flavor, so minimal seasoning is necessary. I like to serve this as a side with a lean, grilled steak, but would pair well with chicken or pork, too. For a vegan side, choose a pesto without cheese.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces haricots verts
salt to taste
1 tablespoon basil pesto

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain water and leave potatoes in the warm pot to remove excess water.
  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute haricots verts, seasoning with salt, until bright green but still crunchy to the bite, about 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and pesto to the green beans. Stir to mix and heat throughout. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
