Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound French green beans, trimmed
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Drain the beans in a colander and immediately put them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color.
  • For the gremolata, toss the garlic, lemon zest, parsley, parmesan, and pine nuts in a small bowl and set aside.
  • When ready to serve, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Drain the beans and pat them dry. Add the beans to the pan and saute, turning frequently, for 2 minutes, until coated with olive oil and heated through. Off the heat, add the gremolata and toss well. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and serve hot.

The green beans were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the gremolata was delicious.

This dish is a great way to sneak more vegetables into your diet. The gremolata is a nice change from the usual butter or salt.

Not a fan of the gremolata. It overpowered the delicate flavor of the green beans.

The green beans were cooked perfectly, still retaining a slight crunch. The gremolata was a great touch, adding a pop of freshness and brightness.

Absolutely scrumptious! The gremolata adds a wonderfully vibrant and herbaceous flavor to the green beans. This dish is a delightful addition to any meal.
