The green beans should remain crunchy in this dish, which is adapted from Grace Young's recipe in "Stir-Fry to the Sky's Edge."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans, trimmed
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce, low-sodium if desired
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, season with salt and add the green beans. Boil 1 minute, drain and rinse with cold water, then place on a kitchen towel to dry thoroughly. (If vegetables aren't dry when you add them to the hot wok or pan, they will splutter and braise instead of stir-frying.) Place within reach of your wok or pan.
  • Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in a small bowl or measuring cup and place within reach of your wok or pan. Place the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in another small container near the burner.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for no more than 10 seconds, and then add the green beans. Toss together, then add the soy sauce and sherry and stir-fry for one to two minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender. Remove from the heat and serve.

SLOW COOKER GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE



Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole image

I was on a search for a slow cooker green bean casserole to take to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner. I couldn't find one I liked, so I mixed and matched and came up with this one! It was so good that I didn't have any leftovers. Happily fed 8 adults and 3 children. Use different spices for your taste! I added some onion powder and Italian seasonings. After you serve, leave the lid off of the slow cooker so the french-fried onions remaining crispy on top. You could also use cream of mushroom soup in place of the cream of chicken.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Serving suggestions: your favorite dip or lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add the oil and heat another minute.
  • Scatter the beans evenly in the pan and sprinkle with the salt (see Cook's Note). Allow the beans to cook undisturbed until browned, blistered and beginning to split on the first side, about 3 minutes.

Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with your favorite dip or simply with a squeeze of lemon.

GREEN BEANS AND GREENS WITH FRIED SHALLOTS



Green Beans and Greens With Fried Shallots image

These delightfully al dente green beans are a quick-cooking nod to the green bean casserole. There is no cream of mushroom soup, but there are fried shallots. Torn leafy greens, briefly sautéed with a bit of butter and a few melted anchovies (which can be omitted for vegetarians), are added to the beans to wilt at the last minute for a very green-on-green side. Depending on what else you're serving, this could almost count as a salad. Be sure to finish with plenty of acid and flaky salt.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup olive oil
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds green beans, trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 anchovy fillets
1 large bunch kale or Swiss chard, thick stems removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons apple cider, white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice, plus more for seasoning
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil and shallots in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until shallots are lightly browned and starting to crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer half of the oil from the pan to a small bowl. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, and add green beans. Season with salt and pepper and cook, without tossing, until lightly charred and blistered on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Give them a toss, and cook, another 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender and cooked through.
  • Add butter and anchovies, and season with salt and pepper. Add kale, and toss to coat until greens are wilted and tender and butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar, tossing to coat. Season with salt, pepper and more vinegar, if needed.
  • Transfer to a large bowl or platter and drizzle with reserved shallot oil. Scatter with fried shallots and flaky salt, and serve.
