Pine nuts lend a sweet, rich flavor to this green bean dish. The seeds of pine trees, the nuts are nestled in the scales of the trees' cones. Because the nuts have a high fat content, they go rancid quickly, so be sure to store them in the refrigerator.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 lb. green beans, trimmed and blanched until
almost tender - 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
In an oval roaster over medium heat, cook the pancetta until browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
Return the pan to medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, stirring often, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the pancetta and pine nuts, and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the beans to a warmed platter and serve immediately. Serves 8 to 10.

Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Made these green beans for Thanksgiving and they were a big hit! Delicious and easy to put together. I would make them again, but with 1/2 the pancetta (4 oz) and half of the toasted pine nuts (1/4 cup). Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil, if using only 4 oz pancetta. Features the green beans a bit more :)
