Excellent! Made it without the lemon rind and walnuts and still very yummy. Next time will try 1 tsp. lemon rind.

just ok - too much salt

Good, but nothing special. Served with Thanksgiving dinner, which went well with the turkey and traditional fixings. But the rosemary only adds a slight flavor, I would probably add more or at least garnish with it. The pecans are a nice touch but they don't stick to the beans well. Probably won't make a again.

I used almonds instead of pecans and lemon juice instead of lemon rind. Was absolutely delicious!
