This holiday side is much healthier than its casserole counterpart. The Gorgonzola's rich, creamy texture offers a nice counterpoint to the crunchy, selenium-packed nuts. Briefly steaming the beans rather than boiling retains their vitamin C and B6 content.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons raw hazelnuts
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 large shallots, sliced (about 1 cup)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds haricots verts (thin green beans), trimmed
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, tossing halfway through, until skins are splitting and nuts are fragrant, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to steam and cool, then rub the nuts with a kitchen towel to remove their skins. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add shallots and cook, tossing, until lightly golden and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add 1/2 cup water, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to the same pan. Add the haricots verts and toss to coat. Cover pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to high and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are glazed, about 3 minutes more. Toss green beans with tarragon, lemon zest, hazelnuts, and sautéed shallots.

GREEN BEANS WITH HAZELNUTS AND LEMON



Green Beans with Hazelnuts and Lemon image

Categories     Bean     Citrus     Nut     Side     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Low/No Sugar     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest or to taste
1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted until golden and chopped fine

Steps:

  • In a kettle of boiling salted water cook beans until just tender, 3 to 8 minutes. Drain beans in a colander and in a large bowl toss while still hot with oil, zest, nuts, and salt and pepper to taste. Beans may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat beans, preferably in a microwave.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, and then cut them in half or into thirds, if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans: This step is essential for preserving the beans' color and crispness. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and then add the green beans. Boil for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans immediately and rinse them with cold water.
  • Toast the hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Make the hazelnut-lemon butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, toasted hazelnuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
  • Sauté the green beans: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and green beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the hazelnut-lemon butter: Stir the hazelnut-lemon butter into the green beans and cook for 1-2 minutes more, or until the butter is melted and the beans are coated.
  • Serve immediately: Green beans with hazelnut-lemon butter are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Green beans with hazelnut-lemon butter is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. The bright green beans, toasted hazelnuts, and tangy lemon butter combine to create a dish that is both flavorful and elegant. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
