Garden Beans and Red Pepper with Walnut Gremolata and Feta

Beans are usually boiled leaving them a little bland but roasting them brings out their hidden flavour. That slight char with the flavoursome gremolata makes this an elegant little side dish.

Ingredients:

1/4 lb yellow and/or green beans, trimmed

2 tsps olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 red pepper, cut in strips

1 tbsp chopped walnuts

1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

1 tsp lemon zest

1-2 tbsps crumbled feta

1 tsp lemon juice

Toss the beans and red pepper with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Add salt and pepper then bake at 450°F for 10 minutes.

Combine the walnuts, parsley, zest, salt and pepper for the gremolata.

Once the vegetables are cooked drizzle with lemon juice then top with gremolata and crumbled feta.
