Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup hazelnuts
Kosher salt
2 pounds haricots verts, trimmed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 7 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub with a kitchen towel to remove the skins; roughly chop and set aside.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to the ice bath; let sit until cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until golden brown flecks appear and the butter smells nutty, about 4 minutes. Add the hazelnuts and cook 30 seconds. Remove the hazelnuts and all but 2 tablespoons of the browned butter to a small bowl; cover to keep warm.
  • Add the broth to the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add half of the haricots verts and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter using tongs. Repeat with the remaining haricots verts. Top with the hazelnuts. Season with salt and sprinkle with the lemon zest.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh haricots verts: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid any beans that are yellowed or wilted.
  • Trim the haricots verts: Cut off the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached.
  • Blanch the haricots verts: This step helps to preserve the beans'鮮豔的綠色 and crisp texture. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the herb butter: Combine your favorite herbs, such as parsley, chives, tarragon, and thyme, with softened butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sauté the haricots verts: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the herb butter: Stir in the herb butter and cook until melted. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Haricots verts with herb butter is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The fresh, crisp beans are perfectly complemented by the rich, flavorful herb butter. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
