GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC



Green Beans With Ginger and Garlic image

Here is a recipe for fresh green beans, boiled just until barely tender and bright green, then tossed in a pan with minced garlic and ginger. The beans can be cooked a day ahead, leaving nothing more to do before the meal than to assemble everything over high heat.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Salt
2 1/2 pounds green beans (French-style slim haricots verts work especially well), trimmed
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger (about 6 inches ginger root, peeled)
4 medium-size garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
  • When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH SOY, SHALLOTS, GINGER, GARLIC AND CHILE



Sauteed Green Beans with Soy, Shallots, Ginger, Garlic and Chile image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 scallions, for garnish
1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons peanut or sesame oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 medium red chile, like jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the scallion garnish: Finely slice the scallions on an angle and drop them into a large bowl with ice and water - this will make the scallion threads curl up nicely so they look like ribbons. Set aside.
  • Wash green beans under cold running water. Cut off the root ends and discard. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and blanch until bright green, about 2 minutes. Shock in ice water then drain in a colander.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the peanut oil, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger and chile. Stir the mixture around so it fries in the oil and gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and toss a couple of times to coat everything evenly. Saute for a couple of minutes so the beans get a little caramelization. Add the soy sauce and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes; the beans should still be nice and crisp. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with drained scallion curls.

Quick-Roasted Green Beans and Shallots with Garlic and Ginger Juice image

This flavorful side dish from Molly Stevens's "All About Roasting" is ready in minutes. Also try: Standing Rib Roast with Yorkshire Pudding

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled (about 2 ounces) or 1 tablespoon bottled ginger juice
1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 to 3 shallots, sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro or mint (or a mix of both)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack set in center of oven. Line a heavy-bottomed rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Finely grate ginger, if using fresh, on a microplane grater. You should have about 2 tablespoons grated ginger. Squeeze ginger over a small fine mesh sieve set over a bowl or in a piece of cheesecloth into a bowl, extracting as much liquid as possible. You should have about 1 tablespoon ginger juice. Discard grated ginger.
  • Place beans and shallots on prepared baking sheet; drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Transfer to oven and cook, until beans are tender and browned in spots and beginning to shrivel and shallots are browned in spots, 15 to 20 minutes, tossing once or twice during cooking.
  • Immediately transfer beans and shallots to a serving bowl and add garlic and ginger juice; toss to combine. Add cilantro or mint and season with salt; toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for green beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
  • Cook the green beans properly: Green beans can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, stir-frying, and roasting. Be careful not to overcook the green beans, as they will become mushy.
  • Add garlic and other seasonings: Garlic is a classic flavoring for green beans. You can also add other seasonings, such as salt, pepper, onion powder, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the green beans immediately: Green beans are best served immediately after cooking. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
