Steps:
- Cook beans in a 2-quart heavy saucepan of boiling water seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, then drain in a colander.
- Wipe out pan and cook butter over moderate heat until deep golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and remove pan from heat. Add beans and toss well.
Tips:
- Choose fresh haricots verts. Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the haricots verts. Cut off the ends of the beans and remove any strings. You can also blanch the beans for a few minutes to help them retain their color and crispness.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will brighten the flavor of the dish. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter.
- Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Conclusion:
Haricots verts with pecans and lemon is a delicious and easy side dish. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight dinner to a special holiday meal.
