Herb Green Beans with Feta image

Provided by Rebecca Jurkevich

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons torn fresh mint leaves, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
2 tablespoons matchstick-size strips lemon zest, divided
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
2 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Working in two batches, cook beans in a large pot of boiling, generously salted water just until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a colander set in a bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain well, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Toss beans, oil, 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon dill, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and half of feta in a large bowl; season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Serve beans topped with remaining feta, 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon dill, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  • DO AHEAD: Beans can be cooked 1 day ahead. Wrap in a paper towel, place in a resealable plastic bag, and chill.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. I added some cooked rice to the green beans, and it was a great way to make a complete meal.

I'm not a big fan of herbs, so I used less than the recipe called for. It was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to feta cheese, so I used goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I always have a few extra beans after I make a salad, and this is a great way to use them up.

The feta cheese in this dish is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using goat cheese next time.
