Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
3 pounds green beans, trimmed of stem end
1/2 cup skin on sliced almonds
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, sliced thin
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large high sided skillet with some water, adding enough to be just shy of the rim of the pan by about 1 inch. Place over high heat and bring up to boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans and then run them under some cold water to stop them from cooking. Reserve the beans while you start the onions.

Remove the almonds from the skillet and reserve. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter has melted. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the thyme, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the cooked cooled green beans and almonds, and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips and Conclusion for Caramelized Green Beans with Pine Nuts

  • Choose the freshest green beans available. Look for beans that are bright green, crisp, and free of blemishes.
  • Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans and any strings that run along the sides.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan for cooking the green beans. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the beans from burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the green beans. If the beans are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the green beans over medium-high heat until they are tender-crisp. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the caramelized onions and pine nuts to the green beans. Toss to coat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the green beans immediately. They can be served as a side dish or main course.
