Ingredients
Cooking Steps
1
Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add the salt.
2
While water is boiling, prepare the beans by trimming/removing the small stem at the top off the beans.
3
Once the water has boiled add the beans and boil for exactly six minutes; set a timer, (the beans will be al dente’ – just cooked, but still firm, this is perfect).
4
Next, drain beans and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
5
Finally, toss through the pesto until all beans are coated.
Serve on your favourite 'bling' platter!
* Pesto beans can be made several hours before serving, refrigerated and brought to bring to room temperature or served as a Summer salad.
Great for any event or dinner party with any roast, grilled or BBQ'd meat. Especially festive at Christmas.
