Best 4 Charred Green Bean Salad Recipes

CHARRED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add the green beans to a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle over the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until soft and starting to brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Top with the hazelnuts and parsley to serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHARRED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Toss 1 pound green beans on a baking sheet with 6 smashed garlic cloves, 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast at 450 degrees F until the beans are tender and slightly charred, about 20 minutes. Toss with 2 teaspoons each chopped tarragon and whole-grain mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.

SKILLET-CHARRED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to a small bowl.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat in the oil. Leave undisturbed over medium heat for 2 minutes to encourage charring, then stir and cook, tossing every 2 minutes, until most of the beans are shriveled, about 6 minutes longer.
• Reduce heat to low and add the shallot mixture and anchovies. Cook, stirring, until well incorporated and anchovies dissolve, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

FRESH MULTI-BEAN SALAD WITH CHARRED RED ONION

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, stir together vinegar, mustard and garlic in small bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk in olive oil. Taste for seasoning, then set aside.
• Shuck and cook the fresh shelling beans. If using fava beans, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute, then rinse in cool water. Peel the outer skin from each bean and set aside. If using butterbeans or cranberry beans, simmer in lightly salted water to cover. They should be tender in about 30 minutes. Let shelling beans cool in their cooking water. (May be cooked ahead.)
• Cook the green beans, romano beans and wax beans separately. Simmer each type in lightly salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Spread them out on plates to cool to room temperature.
• Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lay onion slices in the skillet and let them char and soften slightly on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and char the other side. Set aside to cool. Toast marjoram on the hot skillet until it chars slightly, about one minute, then remove. (You may char the onions and marjoram on an outdoor grill or under the broiler.)
• To assemble the salad, drain the shell beans (reserve liquid for another purpose) and put them in a large serving bowl. Add cooked green beans and charred onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add vinaigrette and toss well. Crumble marjoram and sprinkle over salad. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
