Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons raw hazelnuts
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 large shallots, sliced (about 1 cup)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds haricots verts (thin green beans), trimmed
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, tossing halfway through, until skins are splitting and nuts are fragrant, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to steam and cool, then rub the nuts with a kitchen towel to remove their skins. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set aside.

  • Reduce heat to medium, and add 1/2 cup water, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to the same pan. Add the haricots verts and toss to coat. Cover pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to high and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are glazed, about 3 minutes more. Toss green beans with tarragon, lemon zest, hazelnuts, and sautéed shallots.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans before cooking: Trim the ends of the green beans where the stem was attached. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly: Cook the onions over medium-low heat until they are soft and golden brown. This will take about 15 minutes. Don't rush the process, or the onions will burn.
  • Add the garlic and tarragon at the end of cooking: This will prevent them from burning and will allow their flavors to shine through.
  • Season to taste: Taste the green beans and onions before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or tarragon.

Conclusion:

Green beans with caramelized onions and tarragon is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The caramelized onions add a sweet and savory flavor to the green beans, while the tarragon adds a touch of freshness. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
