Green Beans with Brown Butter and Pine Nuts

Ingredients

• 1 stick butter 
• 1 teaspoon garlic crushed
• 2 pound cut green beans frozen
• 0.5 cup pinenuts 
• 8 servings salt and pepper black freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons water 

Equipment

• bowl
• frying pan
• microwave

Directions

1. Place green beans with 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. As the butter bubbles it will start to turn brown and give off a nutty aroma. Once it has reached a light brown color, add garlic, cooked and drained green beans and pine nuts. Toss to combine and saute for 1 minute until heated through. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
3. Serve immediately.
