  • “This was absolutely superb!I couldn’t find any hazelnuts locally, so I substituted pine nuts (pignoli) instead.It was a big hit for Saturday lunch with guests.My guests even took my recipe that I had printed out, so I’ll have to print another one now!”

  • “* I got totally lucky finding these nuts. Usually can’t find them in Arizona. Made it and man, was it good. Totally adding this to the Family Cookbook. *”

  • “So wonderful!!!!The toasted hazelnuts add a unique and perfect flavor booster to the beans and then mix in the lemon, this dish was really top notch!!Thanks for the recipe!!!”

  • “Unfortunately, this recipe was very disappointing. Quite often it’s the simple recipes with very few ingredients that are the tastiest – not so in this case, it was extremely bland. “
