Directions

  1. 1Chop pistachios. Place chopped pistachios in a bowl and mix in Everything Bagel Spice, cinnamon and cumin.
  2. 2Clean and trim green beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Place beans in bowl of ice water to cool. Drain well, and dry off beans with a towel.
  3. 3Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once butter darkens and smells fragrant, reduce heat to LOW.
  4. 4Add 3/4 of the pistachio mixture, reserving 1/4 for topping later. Add in beans. Sauté until heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. 5Make the lemony whipped feta. In a food processor, add all ingredients and process until smooth and not grainy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. 6Spread the whipped feta evenly on the bottom of a serving platter.
