Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds French green beans, trimmed
4 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 cup (2 ounces) pecan halves
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup (2 ounces) maple syrup
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In small heavy skillet over moderate heat, heat 1 teaspoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add pecans and toast, stirring constantly, until light brown and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, whip butter until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add maple syrup and pecans, stirring by hand to incorporate. Set aside.
  • In 10-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 2 tablespoons canola oil until hot but not smoking. Add half green beans and sauté until hot, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and repeat with remaining beans and oil. Add maple-pecan butter and toss to combine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
