Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 scallions, for garnish
1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons peanut or sesame oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 medium red chile, like jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the scallion garnish: Finely slice the scallions on an angle and drop them into a large bowl with ice and water - this will make the scallion threads curl up nicely so they look like ribbons. Set aside.
  • Wash green beans under cold running water. Cut off the root ends and discard. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and blanch until bright green, about 2 minutes. Shock in ice water then drain in a colander.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the peanut oil, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger and chile. Stir the mixture around so it fries in the oil and gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and toss a couple of times to coat everything evenly. Saute for a couple of minutes so the beans get a little caramelization. Add the soy sauce and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes; the beans should still be nice and crisp. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with drained scallion curls.

Sandy D'amato's Sauteed Green Beans With Shallots and Nutmeg image

Found this in the local paper as one of the best recipes of 2007. Wanted to save to try when I get shallots from my CSA this summer. Prep time is an estimate.

Provided by WI Cheesehead

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 4 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb fresh green beans
2 shallots, peeled and cut in fine brunoise (about 2 oz)
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons water
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
grated nutmeg, to taste

Steps:

  • Remove stem ends from beans, put beans in a bowl and cover with water. Set aside until water comes to room temperature.
  • Drain beans, then cook in a gallon of boiling salted water until done, 3 to 5 minutes depending on thickness. Beans are done when they still have a slight raw flavor but are crisp and bright green.
  • As soon as beans are done, remove from pot and shock in ice water. Drain, and if desired, refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To prepare: Place beans and remaining ingredients in a large saute pan and place over medium-high heat.
  • Saute, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated and butter coats beans and cooks shallots, about 2 minutes.
  • Continue sauteing 1 to 2 minutes (possibly longer if beans are cold from the refrigerator) or until beans are heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste ans serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
  • Blanch the green beans. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Sauté the shallots. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the green beans to the skillet. Cook the beans and shallots together for 5-7 minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
  • Season the green beans. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the green beans immediately. Green beans are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.

    Conclusion:

    Sautéed green beans and shallots is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is healthy, delicious, and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. With its vibrant color and crisp texture, sautéed green beans and shallots are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
