HARICOTS VERTS ALMONDINE
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
- Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, toast the almonds over medium-high heat until golden brown and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan, finely chop and set aside.
- Blanch the string beans in salted boiling water until crisp but tender, 2 to 3 minutes. The salt will impart flavor as well as help keep the string beans crisp. Immediately drain and run cold water over the beans or plunge into an ice bath to cool and stop the cooking process, then remove and completely dry.
- Return the saute pan to the burner over medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the shallots, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until starting to brown, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the drained beans with the shallots and add the lemon zest and juice. Cook to heat the beans completely through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Toss with the toasted chopped almonds and transfer to a serving dish.

Steps:
- To pan-dress the trout:
- With scissors, cut away the dorsal fin along the back of each fish. Hold each pectoral fin (the one closest to the head) and cut away and discard the gill plate and pectoral fin. Turn the fish on its back and open it up. Starting at the head, cut away the belly flap on each side, along with the pelvic fin. Remove the tail by cutting across the fish about an inch from the bottom of the tail. Set aside.
- For the haricots verts:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. Blanch the haricots verts in the boiling water for 2 to 6 minutes, or until they are barely tender, with a slight bite still left to them. Drain the beans and transfer to the ice bath to chill quickly, then drain again and dry on paper towels.
- To complete:
- Lightly sprinkle both sides of each trout with salt and pepper. If you have them, heat two 12-inch nonstick pans (special oval pans work best for fish) over medium-high heat. If you have only one pan, cook two trout first, cover, and keep them in a warm place while you cook the final two. Coat each pan with a light film of canola oil. Add the trout skin side down and sauté for about 4 minutes on one side only. The fish may still look undercooked at the top of the flesh, but the hot ingredients that will top them will complete the cooking.
- Meanwhile, put the beans in a sauté pan, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1/3 cup water, and place over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the water has evaporated and the beans are hot and glazed with butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
- When the fish are done, cut off the heads and discard, if desired, and place the fish on serving plates. Drain the oil from one of the pans and return the pan to the heat. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and a pinch of salt to the hot pan. When the butter begins to brown, add the almonds, shaking the pan to brown them evenly. When they are a rich golden brown, add the parsley and lemon juice.
- Meanwhile, cover each trout with one-quarter of the beans.
- Spoon the foaming butter and almonds over the haricots verts and around the edges of the plates.
ORANGE HONEY VINAIGRETTE
My adaptation of a light salad dressing from the cookbook, "The New American Diet." I particularly enjoy this on a salad with baby spinach, wild rice or both.

Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp green beans. If you can, get them from a farmers market or organic grocery store.
- Blanch the green beans briefly in boiling water to preserve their color and snap.
- Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and golden brown.
- Use high-quality ricotta salata cheese. This cheese is made from sheep's milk and has a firm, crumbly texture.
- Make the orange-honey dressing ahead of time so that the flavors can meld.
- Toss the green beans with the dressing and other ingredients just before serving. This will prevent the green beans from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Haricots verts with almonds, ricotta salata, and orange-honey dressing is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The green beans are crisp and tender, the almonds add a nutty flavor, the ricotta salata adds a salty tang, and the orange-honey dressing brings it all together. This salad is also very easy to make, so it's a great option for a weeknight meal.
