Ricotta salata is an aged and salted ricotta cheese. Unlike fresh ricotta, it can be sliced or crumbled. Mild feta can be used instead.

Categories     3-Ingredient Recipes     Side     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Green Bean     Cheese     Ricotta     Lemon     Quick & Easy

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
2 cups whole-milk ricotta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges (for serving)

If using a grill pan, cook green beans directly on pan, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip ricotta, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Spread whipped ricotta on a serving platter and arrange charred green beans over. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.

FARRO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND DILL



Farro and Green Bean Salad With Walnuts and Dill image

Farro is a perfect vehicle to showcase summer produce. With its nutty flavor and toothsome texture, the whole grain is a great counterbalance to snappy, sweet green beans. The farro cooks while you prepare the rest of the salad, allowing for an easy-to-assemble meal. Dill and walnuts, a nod to Middle Eastern flavors, are used in the gremolata, but pistachios and mint or hazelnuts and parsley would also work. Feta cheese or ricotta salata tossed in at the end would also be a nice addition. This hearty salad works well on its own, but would also be a fine companion to grilled fish or any other protein. Add the acid just before serving; it makes every ingredient sing.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup farro
Kosher salt
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (from about 1 shallot)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound green beans, trimmed
Black pepper
Lemon juice or white wine vinegar
Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Add farro, 3 cups water and a pinch of kosher salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the farro is tender and toothsome, about 30 minutes.
  • While the farro cooks, make the gremolata: Toast the walnuts in a large (preferably 12-inch) skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure that they don't burn, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer toasted walnuts to a medium bowl. Add the dill, lemon zest and shallots and toss to coat. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet and heat the oil over medium. Add the green beans and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are crisp tender and start to brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water to help them along, if needed. Turn off the heat.
  • If there is any residual cooking liquid from the farro, drain it and add the farro directly to the skillet. Toss with the beans until well combined and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter and top with the gremolata. Drizzle with lemon juice or white wine vinegar to finish. Season with flaky salt, if desired.
