Slender petite whole green beans make a beautiful presentation when you serve this medley on a platter. Note that this recipe calls for cooked bulgur, so be sure to have that ready to go.

By Nancy Macklin, RDN,

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. small round red potatoes, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
  • 1 12- to 14-oz. package fresh or frozen petite whole green beans
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill weed
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups hot cooked bulgur
  • ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted

Instructions

  • In a 6-quart Dutch oven cook potatoes in enough boiling water to cover by 2 inches for 2 minutes. Add green beans and red onion; return to boiling. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 2 minutes more or until potatoes and beans are tender. Drain; cover to keep warm.

This is absolutely delicious! The pine nuts are the star of the dish. Don’t leave them out.

Chris

Very good. I used champagne vinegar and added 2 tbsp. Chopped flat leaf parsley. I think it will taste even better cold tomorrow.

PRUDENCE

dO NOT EVER USE AQUAFABA. iT IS MEANT TO BE DRAINED OFF. IT ABSORBS TOXINS FROM THE CAN - EVEN BHA PROOF CANS. iT IS A BRINE.. IT IS FUL OF SODIUM FROM THE BEAN MIXTURE. INSTEAD, FIND A TOFU MAYONNAISE DRESSING TO USE WITH THIS RECIPE

Leslie Soupet

I make my own and save after I make my beans. Nothing wrong with it.
