PAN-ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH GOLDEN ALMONDS



Pan-Roasted Green Beans With Golden Almonds image

This simple almond-shallot topping goes with just about any simply cooked vegetable, but it tastes best with green beans. Instead of simply blanching the beans, I char them until they develop a smoky richness.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
8 ounces green and/or wax beans, trimmed
1/4 cup blanched whole almonds, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, thinly sliced
1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add salt (a teaspoon or so, or to taste). Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green but still firm, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water. When cool, drain again. Pat dry with paper towels until completely dry.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the almonds and the oil, adding more oil if needed to just cover the almonds. Cook over medium heat until the almonds are golden, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shallot. It will cook in the residual heat.
  • Coat a large skillet with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the beans and season with salt. Cook, tossing frequently, until charred dark brown in spots and tender-crisp, about 7 minutes.
  • Top with the almond mixture, then the parsley. Grate the zest from a quarter of the lemon directly over the beans, then cut the lemon into wedges for serving. Season with pepper and serve.

½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

2 tablespoons sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)

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 beans: Cut off the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired, by pulling them off with your fingers.
  • Blanch the beans: Blanching is a quick way to cook the beans and preserve their color. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. You can also add other herbs or spices to the vinaigrette, such as garlic, shallots, or thyme.
  • Toss the beans with the vinaigrette and almonds: Combine the beans, almonds, and vinaigrette in a bowl and toss to coat. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Conclusion:

Green beans with crushed almonds is a simple and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. The beans are blanched to preserve their color and flavor, and the almonds are toasted to bring out their crunch. The vinaigrette adds a tangy and flavorful dressing to the dish. This recipe is a great way to use fresh green beans and is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
