Shredded Green Beans

This new twist on green beans is from Heidi Swanson's "Super Natural Cooking". I love green beans, so I am always up to try something different. This recipe is terrifc! Also great with just lemon zest.

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 lb green beans, and tops and tails trimmed or 3⁄4 lb  yellow beans, tops and tails trimmed

• 1  lime, zest of, grated
• 1⁄4 cup fresh chives, chopped

Directions

1. Slice the beans on a diagonal into roughly 1/8 " pieces. If you are using a food processor, do them a handful at a time. Eitehr way, the result should be tiny, angular zeroes.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beans and stir until coated with oil, then add the water.
3. Cover and cook 2 or 3 minutes, until the beans are brightly colored and tender; give the pan a good shake midway through to ensure even cooking.
