Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds haricots verts, trimmed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup pine nuts
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Have ready large bowl ice water. In large pot boiling salted water , blanch haricots verts until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, then plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry. (Haricots verts can be blanched 1 day ahead, drained and patted dry, and refrigerated until ready to use.)
  • In large skillet over moderately high heat, melt butter. Cook, uncovered, until dark golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in pine nuts and toast, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add haricots verts, oregano, salt, and pepper; toss until heated through. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not a huge fan of pine nuts, so I substituted them with chopped almonds. They turned out just as delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own green bean dish. I like to add a little bit of garlic and chili flakes for a spicy kick.
