This is one of those green bean recipes that will make you love green beans! I’m a lucky girl to live in Old City Philly and super close to one of my favorite restaurants – Amada! Amada is an amazing Spanish tapas place – and they really make one of the best cheese plates ever! In the cheese plate, they pair Manchego cheese with truffle honey – this flavor combination makes me really happy! I wanted to include this delightful flavor pairing in one a healthy dish and this is what I came up with! I am also fortunate to have access to the best store for cheese and cheese accompaniments – Di Bruno Brothers! Di Bruno Brothers has a great white truffle honey! If you don’t live in Philly, that is ok – they have a website where you can order!
