I found this yummy green bean recipe on a Maltese cooking site. It's really simple to make and makes for a delicious side dish for any meal. *Note - Before starting the beans, gently toast your pine nuts in a small, dry skillet for approx. 5 minutes over medium heat - or until lightly browned. Enjoy!
