Pomegranate molasses - one of my absolute favorite flavorings - gives the green beans a sweet and sour finish which is enlivened by a hint of heat from the dried red pepper. Pomegranate molasses and walnuts seem to go together, but I have broken with tradition here by using pecans. You can find pomegranate molasses in middle eastern food markets, but I prepare my own and I have included directions here (see the asterisk). You will need to prepare the molasses ahead of time.
