INGREDIENTS

Green Beans:

2 pounds green beans, rinsed and trimmed

Bread Crumbs:

2 cups coarse fresh ciabatta bread crumbs

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 Lemons, zested (we used Meyers)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped

Dressing:

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

sea salt & pepper to taste

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash green beans and trim the ends.

In a large pot fitted with a steamer basket, steam green beans over 1-inch of boiling water, stirring once. Steam to your desired degree of tenderness, about 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan over medium heat, cook bread crumbs in 2 tablespoons olive oil for 5 minutes. Stir in zest, fresh thyme and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt and pepper. Cook and stir until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes.  Pour into a bowl and set aside.

Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with lemon juice and sea salt and pepper to taste.

Drain green beans, toss with dressing, and transfer to a serving plate. Top with bread crumb mixture and serve immediately.
