I am so used to just steaming veggies and eating them plain that this was a nice treat! I still steamed them, but then added the extras. Sadly, the rabbits got to the parsley in my garden so I added basil instead. And my pine nuts were toasted (adds that extra yum factor when you toast nuts!). I will make this again!

I left my beans a little longer. Being mid winter, fresh parsley from my garden wasn't an option. But I did have some that I dried at the end of the season, so I used that. We did feel that it needed a little bit of salt, but that was quickly solved by a couple of twists of the salt grinder. Served as a side to grilled fish
