Ingredients
- 200 g green beans trimmed
- 250 g broccolini sliced in half
-
50 grams of butter
-
50 ml of macadamia oil
-
65 g macadamias (approx 1/2 cup) roasted and roughly chopped. Plus extra for serving
-
1 clove garlic finely sliced
- 2 French shallots peeled and finely sliced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to season
Directions
- Add the beans and broccolini to salted boiling water and blanch for 3-4 minutes.
Warm the macadamia oil in a large frypan over medium heat.
- Once the butter is foaming and slightly brown, add the macadamias, garlic and shallots
- Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the blanched beans and broccolini to the frypan.
- Add the lemon juice and toss to combine.
- Season well with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish.

Recipe Note
You can always substitute the broccolini and beans for other greens, whatever is good and fresh at the local grocers or your favourite leafy vegetable. If you'd prefer it dairy-free then use macadamia oil, only. Don't worry if you can't find French shallots, red onion or spring onion are good alternatives.
