Pomegranate adds sweetness and an exotic touch to these crunchy, nutty beans.

450g green beans, topped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 pomegranate (see note)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup (25g) walnuts, lightly toasted, chopped

Method

1.

Cook beans in a pan of simmering water for 4 minutes. Drain, then toss with onion.
2.

Using the tip of a sharp knife, remove seeds from pomegranate, holding the fruit over a bowl to catch any juices. Whisk 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice with oil. Season, then toss with beans and onion. Scatter with nuts and pomegranate seeds.
