Green Beans with Creamy Pistachio Sauce Wow! There are a lot of Green Bean Recipes out there.  Some are Good.  Some are Great.  But this one is Awesome.

With their vivid green hue and crisp texture, form the perfect canvas for this delectable creation. Rich in vitamins and minerals, beans not only contribute to the dish’s nutritional profile but also offer a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy pistachio sauce. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, the simplicity of green beans ensures that this dish is accessible to all.

I’m telling you the Pistachio Sauce is the bomb.  The Pistachios provide a nutty sweetness.   Cooked in butter and evaporated milk until slightly toasted and the sauce is thickened.

This recipe is a masterpiece.  When I find a recipe that is this easy to make and is this good, well I can’t stop raving about it.  30 minutes is all it took.  That is from Trimming the beans to Plateing Dish.

I’m always looking for something a little different.  Beyond the norm.  You know we’ve all had a Green bean casserole.  So why not try something a little different?  Green Beans with Creamy Pistachio Sauce. 

I really hope you try this recipe soon and let me know what YOU THINK.
