I can finally walk like a normal person! It's AMAZING. As of this morning, there was no pain and no tightness in my calves, and I've got a spring in my step. Clearly this got me uber excited for some healthy cooking. Digging into the fabulous Weight Watchers cookbook (courtesy of my amazing friend Lauren), I found this tart green bean recipe and couldn't wait to dig in.
I left my beans long, and used dried parsley rather than fresh; I do think this would taste even better with fresh herbs, though. When subbing dried herbs for fresh, you want to quarter what the recipe calls for.
Makes 4 servings
Points+ value: 1
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 pound green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp water
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Saute the beans until bright green, about 3 minutes; add the parsley. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and water. Reduce the heat and cook, covered, 2-3 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes longer.
