preparation time ;20 minutes
Serves ;4
Ingredients :
300 g green beans
1 grapefruit , substitute with pomelo or other oranges
2 fresh onions
2 cloves of garlic
2-3 walnuts
A handful of hazelnuts and walnuts
Olive oil
Black pepper
Salt
Aromatic herbs
preparation:
1. First peel the garlic cloves and onions . And put them to cook for about 10 minutes in a pot with plenty of water and some salt.
2. When they are tender, drain well and reserve the water. Put the garlic and onions in a mortar together with the walnuts and season with a little olive oil, your favorite aromatic herbs and a pinch of black pepper. Blend the mixture until it reaches a paste texture .
3. Cook the beans in the water that you had reserved after cooking the garlic, it is better if you do not cook them a lot. A couple of minutes are fine. Drain them and put them in a bowl .
4. Peel the grapefruit without leaving any of the white strips that cover it and without losing much juice. Chop it up and add it to the beans.
5. Toast the hazelnuts and pine nuts lightly in a pan without oil.
6. Finally mix everything in the bowl of the beans, the onion and garlic paste, the grapefruit and the toasted nuts. I recommend to add some olive oil and salt and pepper again according to your taste.
