Easy
Made just as the recipe except for the oil, used balsamic and its an unusual taste but all 6 at the table asked for more, that says it all.

Used different ingredients.
Made this for Easter and it was very good. Used toasted almonds instead of hazelnuts and added some lemon juice to the cooking water. Reheats nicely if you don't overcook the beans.

Like some other reviewers, I used toasted almonds. The lemon gave the beans a lovely freshness without being overpowering & the almonds added a lovely crunch.

A very nice side dish. One change I made was to omit the olive oil and substitute a slightly sweet balsamic when I tossed the beans, hazelnuts and zest.

Very easy to make...I liked the fact that I could assemble and cook one day, reheat and serve the next. I was a little disappointed in the taste...a little bland, despite following the recipe and using all fresh ingredients. I will stick with my usual green bean fave. Thanks for sharing.

Not bad. I steamed the green beans and they were nice and tender. Might have wanted a bit more lemon taste.
