1-2 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates*

1/3 cup arils from 1 large POM Wonderful

Pomegranate

6 cups fresh green beans (1 1/4 pounds) -- stems removed and

Place oil in a wok or large skillet and heat until hot. Stir-fry the beans

with the lemon peel for 6 minutes. Add the almonds and stir-fry for 1-2

minutes more or until beans are crisp-tender. Remove from heat. Season to

taste with salt and pepper.

 

Toss beans with reserved pomegranate arils and juice; turn onto a serving

platter. Arrange goat cheese slices over the top and serve.
