Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan Crisps, recipe follows
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well; set aside.
  • Melt the butter and oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and cook until the juices evaporate and the beans are almost tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and basil. Simmer 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2-inch apart.
  • Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.
  • Yield: 8 to 10 crisps

SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS AND CHERRY TOMATOES



SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS AND CHERRY TOMATOES image

Categories     Bean     Side     Sauté

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups (16 oz) green beans, trimmed
2 T unsalted butter
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 T dry white wine
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 T tarragon chopped (I use dry)
To taste salt & pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Trim the stems from the beans; cook in boiling salted water for approx. 6-8 mins. until tender. Shock the beans in ice water and drain. Chill until needed. 2. Heat the butter; add the shallot and garlic and cook 2 mins. Add the lemon juice and wine, and cook 1 min more or until almost dry. 3. Add the beans; season and cook 2 mins. 4. Add the cherry tomatoes and tarragon. Cook 2 mins or just long enough to heat the tomatoes. 5. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans. Remove the tough ends of the green beans. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
  • Blanch the green beans. Blanching is a quick process of boiling the green beans in hot water and then immediately transferring them to cold water. This helps to preserve their color and crispness.
  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes. The tomatoes will add sweetness and flavor to the dish. You can use any type of tomato you like, but Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and have fewer seeds.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar for a bit of tang.

Conclusion:

Sautéed green beans and tomatoes is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home.
