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.

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!

Provided by yenners

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.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 203.6, Fat 23, SaturatedFat 14.6, Cholesterol 61.1, Sodium 163.6, Protein 0.2

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are yellowed or wilted.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans before cooking. You can also trim the beans into smaller pieces, if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Remove the beans from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the mustard cream sauce: While the green beans are blanching, you can make the mustard cream sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set the sauce aside.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds adds a nutty flavor to the dish. To toast the almonds, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside.

Conclusion:

Green beans with mustard cream sauce and toasted almonds is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The mustard cream sauce is tangy and flavorful, and the toasted almonds add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table!
