It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Something as basic as a side of green beans is elevated with a simple, effortless sprinkling of toasted nuts. Works wonders for both flavor and textural interest.

1 1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter

Place green beans in 3-quart saucepan; add enough water to cover. Cook over medium-high heat until water comes to a full boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until green beans are crisply tender (12 to 15 minutes). Drain.

You can substitute brussels sprouts for the green beans if desired.

Very easy yet tasty. Adding nuts such as pistachios to veggies really does a lot to dress them up both appearance and taste-wise. This could also easily be made with frozen or canned green beans.
