Green Beans With Orange Olive Oil

sorry I should have stated I don't use all the olive oil at one recipe. I make the orange olive oil to use again. It is just easier to infuse the olive oil when there it a bit more oil than about one table spoon. So after you infuse the olive oil I would only pour about 1 table spoon on top. Save the rest for another time.

I use Blood Orange olive oil and orange zest for garnish. Best beans ever everyone loves them and wants the recipe

A nice change to ordinary steamed green beans. Easy to make. Next time I'd use more orange zest and a little less oil.

I used frozen haricot vert.. this was quite tasty. I also added cracked pepper

I was surprised how flavorful and good-looking this dish was. I used about 3 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, and this seemed to be just right.

Never though orange could go well with green beans before

I tried this first with asparagus, and later with green beans as I had a lot of oil left over. The oil had a subtle orange smell, but the flavor really didn't come through on the veggies. You definitely need the orange zest to get the orange flavor. And even then it was just a little too orange-y without any balancing flavor. Not bad, but I won't make it often.

Very nice flavour. Everyone like this.

No changes and used all the infused oil as I made a big bowl. It was wonderful and certainly will make it again. Company was most impressed. I never made infused oil before and not hard. Can also cook the beans just prior to company arriving and finish off just before serving. Yumm.

I made it the first time with orange, then the second with lemon. Both were delicious.

These were delicious and tender. Great side with roasted potatoes and pork Marsala as in the photo. Easy to make.

a very fresh, crisp flavor and simple!

A simple whole food side dish. Elegant, and rustic all at once. Yummy.
