Ingredients
- 3 lb (1.5 kg) green beans
- Trimmed 1/2 cup (125 mL) diced shallots
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) butter
- melted 2 tbsp (30 mL) grainy mustard
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tsp (10 mL) honey
- 1 tsp (5 mL) finely grated orange zest
- 3/4 tsp (4 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) pitted sour cherries
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) toasted slivered almonds

- Cover and roast for 12 minutes. Uncover and roast for 8 to 10 minutes or until beans are tender-crisp and cherries have softened.
