Green Beans with Creamy Pistachio Sauce
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.
Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
- 2 pounds fresh green beans (trimmed)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter (cubed)
- 1/2 cup pistachios (coarsely chopped)
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Place green beans and salt in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until tender, stirring occasionally, 5-8 minutes. Drain and remove from pan.
In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add pistachios; cook and stir until pistachios begin to brown, 1-2 minutes. Stir in evaporated milk; bring to a boil. Cook until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Add green beans; heat through, stirring to coat with sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tip: Reserve some of the Sauce to drizzle over the top after plating to give it just a little more appeal. And a few extra Pistachios for garnish is a nice touch.
