Green Beans Parmesan

How to make Green Beans Parmesan Cream and Pumpkin Seeds

Incredible that something so simple can be so tasty, but it is. This is at it’s best made with new season beans. The crunchiest sweetest ones. When you find these then this is the time to whip this up.

OK, you don’t need to mention that it contains lots of cheese. It may not be an every night side dish but there should be enough occasions that you could find to make it. Something else that you may like is you can add all kinds of other vegetables to it. You can add vegetables such as broccoli or Brussels sprouts or grilled zucchini. If you don’t want to use green vegetables then you could substitute baby carrots or roasted cauliflower or mushrooms.  The other thing that makes this irresistible is the crunchy pumpkin seeds.

    What a nice way to dress up beans Tania, much snazzier than my usual chopped parsley sprinkle!

    I cooked beans for dinner last night but just drizzled them in olive oil with a squeeze of lemon juice, then threw in a bit of grilled haloumi. It was very nice but this looks so much better. Your presentation is lovely with such depth of greenness to your beans and then the lovely contrasting sauce. Must go and buy some pumpkin seeds xx
