https://www.pressreader.com/new-zealand/cuisine-nz/20200101/283016876602171 

1 cup raw walnuts, coarsely chopped

½ cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

4 anchovy fillets

1 garlic clove, finely grated

750g green beans, trimmed

1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard

1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar or white wine vinegar 3 tablespoons finely chopped dill

Preheat the oven to 230°C or heat a barbecue grill to medium-high.

Heat the walnuts and half the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the walnuts are toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the anchovies and garlic, swirling to dissolve the anchovy; set aside.

Place the beans and lemon slices on a baking tray. Drizzle with enough olive oil to lightly coat, and season with salt and pepper. Roast (or grill), tossing once or twice, until the beans and lemon start to char and brown in spots, 12-15 minutes (or 8-10 minutes if grilling).

Combine the mustard, vinegar and remaining ¼ cup olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the bean mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and top with the walnut mixture and dill.

DO AHEAD Beans can be cooked and dressed a few hours ahead, stored loosely covered at room temperature.
