Green Beans with Brazil Nuts and Basil
Green bean recipes are a little like socks; everybody has a few. I came across a website that boasted 471 green bean recipes. By the time I linked to it a second later, they were up to 472, so clearly it’s a popular vegetable. This dish is dairy-free and delicious. Instead of a common cheese topping, I use finely ground Brazil nuts, which you’ll swear taste like Parmesan cheese. Why Brazil nuts? Because they’re an amazing source of selenium, a mineral that some scientists believe lessens chemo’s toxic effects on healthy cells.
