Roasted Bean Salad

We had some left-over meat[1] and needed a side dish to go with it.

Ingredients:
- 500 g (1 lb) green beans
- 1 onion
- oregano
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- lemon juice
- 1 handful pine nuts

The beans were rinsed and placed in a large baking pan together with onion wedges. This was sprinkled with olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. The baking pan went in the oven at 225 C (450 F) for about 20-25 minutes (beans tender and starting to blacken in spots). After roasting the beans were sprinkled with lemon juice and pan-roasted pine nuts.

Served with fresh radishes as well.

[1] And yes, the previously sliced meat, but quite rare was roasted some more.
