HARICOTS VERTS WITH DILL AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Place the hazelnuts in a large (12-inch) saute pan set over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, rolling them around occasionally, until they are heated through. Transfer the nuts to a clean kitchen towel, fold the towel over, and roll them around until some of the skins fall off. (Don't worry if they don?t all fall off.) Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set aside. Wipe out the pan with a kitchen towel.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with 4 quarts water, add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Plunge the string beans into the water and cook for 5 minutes, until just tender. Drain immediately, plunge into a large bowl of ice water, and set aside.
• When ready to serve, heat the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in the large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the string beans, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring with tongs, until heated through. Off the heat, stir in the dill and hazelnuts and taste for seasonings.

HARICOTS VERTS WITH HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add haricots verts and 1 tablespoon salt; cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and plunge into an ice-water bath to chill. Drain, and set aside. (This can be done up to a day in advance.)
• In a medium skillet, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add shallots, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and cook, turning, until shallots start to brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, turning frequently, until shallots are well browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into slivers.
• Meanwhile, place hazelnuts (blanched or with skin) in a baking pan; toast in the oven until they darken, 5 to 7 minutes. If using hazelnuts with skin, remove as much of it as possible by rubbing them quickly and vigorously in a dish towel. Crush roughly with the flat side of a knife.
• In a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add haricots verts, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add shallots and hazelnuts; cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a serving dish, and serve.

GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS, HAZELNUTS, AND TARRAGON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, tossing halfway through, until skins are splitting and nuts are fragrant, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to steam and cool, then rub the nuts with a kitchen towel to remove their skins. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
• In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add shallots and cook, tossing, until lightly golden and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium, and add 1/2 cup water, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to the same pan. Add the haricots verts and toss to coat. Cover pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to high and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are glazed, about 3 minutes more. Toss green beans with tarragon, lemon zest, hazelnuts, and sautéed shallots. Serve immediately.

HARICOT VERTS (GREEN BEANS) , WILD MUSHROOMS WITH HAZELNUTS

• Cook beans in boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge beans into ice water. Drain.
• Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms to pan. Sauté 7 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
• Add onions, sauté 1 minute. Add beans, sauté 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

HARICOTS VERTS AND PEAR SALAD WITH HAZELNUTS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Trim the ends of the haricots verts. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the beans until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes, then drain and transfer to ice water to preserve the color. Drain again and pat dry. Cut in half crosswise. Place in a large mixing bowl.
• For the vinaigrette: Put the vinegar, shallot, and mustard in a small bowl and whisk to blend. Gradually whisk in the oils. Season with salt and pepper.
• Trim the core and any dark green outer leaves and leaf tips from the frisée. Tear the pale yellow center leaves into bite-size pieces. Slice the endives on a slight diagonal into 1-inch pieces. Separate into individual layers and discard the core. Add the frisée, endive, arugula, and hazelnuts to the bowl with the beans.
• Cut the pear in half, remove the core and slice thinly lengthwise. Add to the bowl. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the salad lightly; you may not need it all.
• If the prosciutto slices are large, tear in half. Make a loose ring of prosciutto on each plate, then mound a handful of salad in the center of the ring. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Reserve or another full-bodied white wine.

HARICOTS VERTS WITH WALNUTS AND WALNUT OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts in a small baking dish. Bake until you can hear the walnuts sizzling or smell them when you open the oven door, about 5 minutes. (Set your timer!) Remove from the oven and coarsely chop. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water, seasoned with sea salt so that it tastes like ocean water, to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until they are just tender but still firm, about 4 minutes. (Don't overcook: they will continue to cook out of the water.) Drain, then spread out on a clean kitchen towel to soak up the excess water.
• Gather the beans while hot and toss in a bowl with the warm walnuts and the walnut oil. Season generously to taste with pepper and perhaps a little more salt. Serve now or later. (They're lovely after a few hours too.)
