1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 stick unsalted butter
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 pounds green beans, cleaned and blanched
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

These are the best green beans I've ever tasted! The shallots were especially good in the beans, and I substituted walnuts for hazelnuts. I found this recipe on steamykitchen.com. I will definitely be making them again.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup shelled whole hazelnuts (unroasted and unsalted)
1 lb green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
1 -2 large shallot, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon table salt) or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (1/4 teaspoon table salt)
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the hazelnuts and toast the hazelnuts until the skins are dark brown but not burned. Keep the heat low so that you don't burn the hazelnuts. It should take about 6-7 minutes. Let cool enough to handle and rub the skins off. You can use a towel or a garlic peeler. Coarsely chop and set aside.
  • Add 1 cup water to the saute pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the green beans and cover with lid. Steam the beans for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Immediately drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking.
  • Wipe the saute pan dry and return to the stove on medium-high heat. Add the butter and let the butter brown and bubble. Once the butter is browned, add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and the green beans. Use your spatula or large spoon to scoop up some of the browned balsamic butter up and over the green beans. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 lb fresh green beans, cut in half
2 tablespoons butter (do not use margarine or vegetable oil spreads)
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, place beans in 1 inch of water. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender (they shouldn't be "squeaky" when you bite into one); drain. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Be careful not to let butter burn or it will taste bitter. Stir in pecans. Heat, stirring constantly, until butter is golden brown. (If bottom of saucepan is dark, it may be difficult to see the difference between brown butter and burnt butter. Try spooning a little of the butter onto a white plate to see the color more clearly.) Immediately remove from heat. Pour butter mixture over beans; toss to coat. Sprinkle with lemon peel.

Tips:

  • Select fresh green beans: Look for green beans that are bright green in color, crisp, and free from blemishes.
  • Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans, removing any tough or woody ends.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Brown the butter: To brown the butter, melt it in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the butter, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma.
  • Toast the hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts enhances their flavor. To toast the hazelnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the hazelnuts are golden brown and fragrant.

Conclusion:

Green beans with browned butter and hazelnuts is a simple but flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The browned butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to the green beans, while the hazelnuts add a crunchy texture. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
