  • 500 gram green beans, trimmed
  • 300 gram frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Notes

  • Pay close attention when toasting the pine nuts as they can burn very quickly. Take them off the heat just before they start to colour. - PER SERVE Energy 198kcal, 830kj • Protein 6.9g • Total Fat 15.8g • Saturated Fat 3g • Carbohydrate 5.2g • Fibre 4.5g • Sodium 229mg
