Green Beans with Roasted Red Peppers and Pine Nuts - created on a quiet night cw

Fresh Green Beans about 25 or more.
About 4 tablespoons of diced Roasted Red Peppers
About 3 tablespoons of pine nuts
1 tablespoon Olive oil or Avocado Oil
2 tablespoon garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh pepper to taste.
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of water

Sautee olive oil on medium heat and add garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes being careful the garlic does not burn. Add green beans and sautee for about 6-8 minutes. Add remainder of ingredients and cook until tender, but still crispy. About 5 more minutes. I cooked it enough were the pinenuts were toasty light brown and the piementos were curling shrinking in size.

These are just estimated measurements for I just created as I went along, but they are pretty close. I must add that you just can't have enough roasted red peppers or the pine nuts. They add such a great flavor.

We loved this recipe. I served it with Salmon grilled on a cedar plank and baked sweet potatoes. A glass of merlot completed our date night ;)
