FRENCH GREEN BEANS SAUTéED WITH MUSHROOMS AND ALMONDS



French Green Beans Sautéed With Mushrooms and Almonds image

I created this Asian-inspired dish last night. It is permissible for phase one of the South Beach Diet and we LOVED it. I used frozen french beans from Trader Joe's, but fresh beans would be wonderful! Amounts are highly approximated; I didn't measure when making this, but this is pretty similar to what I did. (If using fresh beans, you'd probably want to blanch them in boiling water and then plunge in ice water, and *then* add to the pan.)

Categories     Fruit

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 -3 garlic cloves
6 large button mushrooms, sliced
1/2-3/4 cup whole almond (more or less to taste and to fit your dieting goals)
1/2 lb frozen French-cut green beans (like those found at Trader Joe's but any would work, including fresh, also, you may want to add more)
soy sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat.
  • Sauté garlic until soft, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they look fairly cooked and shiny (about 5 minutes).
  • Add almonds and sauté for a couple more minutes.
  • Finally, add frozen green beans and splash of soy sauce.
  • Stir frequently until beans are just cooked and, of course, no longer frozen.
  • If not on the south beach diet or watching sugar intake, you could add oyster sauce or other Asian condiment to the mixture.

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.

GREEN BEANS WITH TOASTED ALMONDS



Green Beans with Toasted Almonds image

My husband loves green beans, and mushrooms, and toasted almonds, so I thought I'd try to combine all three! I've made this for a couple different family get-togethers, and it goes over very well! I don't know measured portions, as I just put as much as I want and season to taste!

Categories     Greens

Time 11m

Yield 1 Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 6

frozen green beans (or you could use fresh)
fresh mushrooms
slivered almonds
garlic pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons butter, approx
other seasoning, to your liking (sometimes I add Tabasco for a kick)

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2 of the butter on stove, add slivered almonds and continuously stir to toast.
  • They are done when their color has changed slightly.
  • Remove the almonds.
  • Melt the rest of the butter, and saute mushrooms with garlic pepper and other seasonings as you wish.
  • Meanwhile, cook green beans (I use frozen, so I cook them in the microwave while I'm sauteing).
  • Once the mushrooms are done, turn them down to low until the green beans are done.
  • Mix together the green beans, mushrooms, and slivered almonds, reserving a tablespoon or so to sprinkle on the top before serving.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons butter
1 (16 ounce) package frozen pearl onions or small whole white onions
2 pounds green beans, trimmed and snapped into 2-inch pieces
Salt
1 ½ cups milk
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons flour
Freshly ground black pepper
½ cup slivered almonds, toasted until fragrant in a 325-degree oven (10 minutes or less)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbs. of butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; saute, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Dump onions onto a large cookie sheet. Add green beans, 3/4 cup water and a scant teaspoon salt to the unwashed skillet. Turn heat to high; cover and cook until wisps of steam escape around the lid. Set timer for 5 minutes; cook until bright green but tender.
  • Drain beans; transfer to cookie sheet with onions and spread out to cool. (Cooled vegetables can be covered loosely with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature up to 4 hours ahead.)
  • Microwave milk, chicken broth and mustard in a 1-quart Pyrex-type measuring cup until steamy. Heat remaining 2 Tbs. of butter in the skillet. Whisk in flour, then hot milk mixture, until smooth and simmering. (Sauce can be made up to 4 hours ahead: Cover surface directly with plastic wrap, to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate; return to a simmer before proceeding.)
  • Add beans and onions; simmer until sauce is thick enough to cling, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve immediately.

Savory and sweet. Everyone who tries this side dish absolutely loves it.

Provided by Jen

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup blanched slivered almonds
3 tablespoons butter
5 small shallots, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped

Steps:

  • Place the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over low heat, and cook and stir constantly until the almonds are lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully, because they burn easily. Remove the almonds and set aside.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the shallots and red bell pepper until softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the shallot mixture with sugar, salt, and pepper, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the shallots caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer, and bring the water to a boil. Add the green beans, cover, and steam until just tender enough to pierce with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the green beans, place them into the skillet with the shallot mixture, mix well, and gently stir in the toasted almonds.
