Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup pecan halves and pieces (2 ounces)
2 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup shallot, finely chopped (about 2 medium)
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Spread out pecans on a rimmed sheet pan and bake in oven until pale golden on inside, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop.
  • Have ready a colander submerged in a large bowl of ice water. Cook beans in a 6- to 8-quart pot of well-salted boiling water, uncovered, until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a large slotted spoon and/or tongs, transfer beans to colander in ice water to stop cooking, then drain well and dry on towels.
  • Heat butter in a 12- to 14-inch deep heavy skillet (preferably straight-sided) over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add shallot and cook, stirring until pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in sugar until almost dissolved, then cook pecans, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Add green beans, kosher salt, and pepper, and sauté beans, turning them with tongs, until heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, roast the pimiento peppers before using them.
  • If you don't have pimiento peppers, you can use roasted red peppers instead.
  • To make a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the bacon.
  • To add a bit of sweetness, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the green beans.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the green beans.
  • Serve the green beans as a side dish or as a main course with rice or potatoes.

Conclusion:

Pimiento green beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook green beans, give this recipe a try!
