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. Serve immediately.

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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 lb haricots verts or other green beans, trimmed

Steps:

  • Stir together all ingredients except haricots verts with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until combined well.
  • Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt for 6 quarts water), uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes, then drain. Toss with herb butter.
  • Do Ahead
  • Herb butter can be made ahead and chilled, covered, 3 days or frozen, rolled into a cylinder in plastic wrap and kept in a sealed bag, 1 week. Haricots verts can be trimmed 1 day ahead and chilled in a sealed bag lined with paper towels.

Tips:

  • To save time, trim the green beans ahead of time and store them in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you don't have shallots, you can substitute a small onion, finely chopped.
  • If you don't have tarragon, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as parsley, chives, or basil.
  • To make the dish even more flavorful, you can add a tablespoon of white wine or chicken broth to the pan along with the shallots.
  • For a crisper texture, cook the green beans for a shorter amount of time. For a softer texture, cook them for a longer amount of time.
  • Serve the green beans immediately, while they are still hot and crisp.
