Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 17m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of well salted boiling water until bright green in color and tender crisp, roughly 2 minutes. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
  • Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the butter. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and continue to saute until coated in the butter and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans before cooking.
  • Blanch the beans: Blanching the beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness.
  • Sauté the beans over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Add the lemon juice and walnuts towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the lemon juice from overpowering the dish and the walnuts from burning.
  • Season the beans to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the beans immediately: Sautéed green beans are best served hot.

Conclusion:

Sautéed green beans with lemon and walnuts is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed on any occasion.
