Step 1:

Heat a small frying pan to medium heat and add hazelnuts without oil. Gently stir frequently for 5-10 minutes until toasted. Remove from heat and chop when cool.

Bring 8 cups of water and salt to boil in a large saucepan. Add green beans and cook for 3 minutes. Drain. Return green beans to pan on medium heat. Add hazelnut and butter mixture. Cook for 3 minutes or until the butter mixture melts. Toss gently to coat.
