Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 200 grams artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and chopped)
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Step 3
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Step 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, toss the green beans with the artichoke dressing until evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the dressed green beans to a serving platter. Sprinkle with pine nuts and parmesan cheese, if using, for extra flavor and texture.
Step 7
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours and serve chilled.
