Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 pounds green beans or snow peas, trimmed
3 lemons
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it (for this, the same water may be used as that in which the potatoes have been blanched); add the beans, and cook until they are just bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the beans, then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water, to stop the cooking. When they're cool, drain them again. Zest the lemons, and julienne or mince the zest. Juice the lemons.
  • To serve, place the oil in a large skillet, and turn the heat to medium high. Add the beans, and cook, tossing or stirring, until they are hot and glazed with the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the beans in a serving bowl with the lemon juice, top with the zest, and then serve.

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. Remove the ends of the beans, and then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Blanch the green beans before cooking. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the hazelnuts before using. This will bring out their flavor. To toast the hazelnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest. This will give the dish a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcook the green beans. They should be tender, but still slightly crisp.

Conclusion:

Green beans with hazelnut lemon butter is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a special holiday meal. The combination of green beans, hazelnuts, lemon, and butter is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
