Instructions (3 steps)

01Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts in a small baking dish. Bake until you can hear the walnuts sizzling or smell them when you open the oven door, about 5 minutes. (Set your timer!) Remove from the oven and coarsely chop. Set aside and keep warm.
02Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water, seasoned with sea salt so that it tastes like ocean water, to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until they are just tender but still firm, about 4 minutes. (Don't overcook: they will continue to cook out of the water.) Drain, then spread out on a clean kitchen towel to soak up the excess water.
03Gather the beans while hot and toss in a bowl with the warm walnuts and the walnut oil. Season generously to taste with pepper and perhaps a little more salt. Serve now or later. (They're lovely after a few hours too.)
