Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup blanched slivered almonds
3 tablespoons butter
5 small shallots, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped

Steps:

  • Place the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over low heat, and cook and stir constantly until the almonds are lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully, because they burn easily. Remove the almonds and set aside.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the shallots and red bell pepper until softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the shallot mixture with sugar, salt, and pepper, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the shallots caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer, and bring the water to a boil. Add the green beans, cover, and steam until just tender enough to pierce with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the green beans, place them into the skillet with the shallot mixture, mix well, and gently stir in the toasted almonds.

THE BEST GREEN BEANS EVER



The Best Green Beans Ever image

Ree Drummond's Best Green Beans Ever recipe, from The Pioneer Woman on Food Network, starts with bacon grease and gains even more flavor from chicken stock.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons bacon grease (can substitute 2 tablespoons butter)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt (can substitute regular table salt, use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
  • Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

GREEN BEAN AND CORN ALMONDINE



Green Bean and Corn Almondine image

The classic French dish of green beans and almonds gets a fun update with the addition of corn, which lends extra sweetness, chewy texture and pops of golden color. The simply prepared dish allows the tender green beans and corn to shine in a velvety garlic- and thyme-infused butter sauce. The nutty flavor and delicate crunch of toasted sliced almonds round out the dish. (Haricots verts also work beautifully here, in place of the green beans, but decrease the steaming time to 3 minutes.) This quick and versatile salad pairs well with many different foods and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sliced almonds (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and vibrant vegetables: Look for red peppers that are firm and have a deep red color. Green beans should be crisp and bright green. Almonds should be roasted and unsalted for the best flavor.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods: Sautéing, roasting, and steaming are all great ways to cook the vegetables in this recipe. Sautéing will give them a slightly crispy texture, while roasting will bring out their natural sweetness. Steaming will preserve their nutrients and vibrant colors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the vegetables, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will cause them to steam instead of sautéing.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the vegetables before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder, depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve immediately: Red pepper green bean almondine is best served immediately after cooking, while the vegetables are still hot and tender.

Conclusion:

Red pepper green bean almondine is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste.
