Dragon Tongue Beans in Garlic Butter and Parsley

You could technically make this with any kind of beans, but these are the ones our CSA is giving us right now, and they are tasty! If you do use green or wax beans, your cooking time will be a few minutes less. Feel free to use a different nut and/or herb. Basil and pine nuts, cilantro and peanuts, parsley with cashews or hazelnuts. If this is your main dish, adding sliced up chicken sausages is a nice way to add some additional protein. This makes a great side to a burger!
