Ingredients

- 500g green beans, stalks nipped off
- 100g blanched hazelnuts
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon or orange
- Salt and black pepper

Method

1. Half fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Toss in your green beans. Cook for 5 minutes, then tip into a sieve or colander. Immediately run under cold water until the beans are stone cold. Leave to drain. Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts in a frying pan, tossing them occasionally until they are lightly browned. Tip on to a work surface and roughly chop, or bash them up with a rolling pin.

2. Transfer the beans to a serving dish, toss with the olive oil, lemon or orange zest and juice, salt and pepper. Then finally, sprinkle over the toasted hazelnuts.
