Yield Serves 12 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large red bell peppers
2 pounds slender green beans, trimmed
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
Lettuce leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Transfer to large bowl. Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain well. Add to bowl with peppers.
  • Whisk oil, vinegar and garlic in small bowl to blend well. Pour over vegetables; toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover; chill up to 6 hours.
  • Line large bowl with lettuce leaves, if desired. Mound vegetables in center.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the green beans before cooking. You can do this by snapping off the ends or using a sharp knife.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and diced red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, or until fragrant.
  • Add the green beans and walnuts: Add the blanched green beans and chopped walnuts to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are heated through and the walnuts are toasted.
  • Season to taste: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the green beans hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Savory Braised Green Beans with Red Bell Pepper and Walnuts is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
