The bright gingery sauce on these green beans is delicious and so simple to whip up. It's perfection on either hot or cold beans, but I also really love it tossed with cooked shrimp. -Marina Castle Kelley, Canyon Country, California

GINGER BUTTER SAUTEED GREEN BEANS



Ginger Butter Sauteed Green Beans image

We blanch the beans before sauteing. This means to plunge fresh green beans into boiling salted water, leave for 1 to 2 minutes, and then plunge into icy water to stop the cooking. This makes them crisp and bright green. You can blanch the beans, cool, and drain them a day in advance. Just keep them covered in the refrigerator.

GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC



Green Beans With Ginger and Garlic image

Here is a recipe for fresh green beans, boiled just until barely tender and bright green, then tossed in a pan with minced garlic and ginger. The beans can be cooked a day ahead, leaving nothing more to do before the meal than to assemble everything over high heat.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Salt
2 1/2 pounds green beans (French-style slim haricots verts work especially well), trimmed
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger (about 6 inches ginger root, peeled)
4 medium-size garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
  • When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when broken. Avoid beans that are wilted, limp, or have brown spots.
  • Trim the beans: Remove the stem ends of the beans. You can also trim the tips of the beans, but this is optional.
  • Blanch the beans: Blanching the beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the ginger butter: While the beans are blanching, make the ginger butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Sauté the beans: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the blanched beans. Sauté the beans for 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through. Add the ginger butter and stir to coat the beans.
  • Serve immediately: Green beans with ginger butter are best served immediately. They can be garnished with chopped parsley or chives.

Green beans with ginger butter is a simple but flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The ginger butter adds a unique and delicious flavor to the beans.
