GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER-PECAN BUTTER Servings: 6

1 pound of green beans, trimmed and halved
Ginger-Pecan Butter:
1/4 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add
green beans and cook until tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes.
Drain well.
2. Meanwhile, make Ginger-Pecan Butter: Mix pecans,
butter, ginger and salt together in a small bowl until
blended.
3. Return beans to pot; add butter mixture. Cook over low
heat, stirring, until beans are hot and butter has melted,
about 1 minute.
Butter flavored with ginger and toasted pecans is a tasty way to
dress up everyday green beansand the sauce also goes well
with other vegetables, such as broccoli or Brussels sprouts. You
can make it ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. Atkins - Green Beans with Ginger-Pecan Butter
