Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with ice water, and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add salt. Add half the beans, return to a boil, and cook until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, plunge beans into ice water to stop the cooking. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining green beans. (Blanched green beans can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.)
- For shallot-garlic green beans: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Add green beans, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until heated through and beginning to brown in places, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
- For Asian-style green beans: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add green beans, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add chili paste and sugar, and stir until well coated. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH PANCETTA AND LEMON ZEST
This simple, bright green bean dish is as welcome alongside weeknight salmon as it is a Thanksgiving turkey. Green beans are delicious roasted at a high temperature and take just 15 minutes to cook, which particularly important on Thanksgiving when oven space is precious. Trim the green beans ahead of time, and this dish will come together in a flash. Many grocery stores sell packages of diced pancetta, a shortcut that makes this recipe a cinch. If you're dicing the pancetta yourself, make sure to chop it very finely so it roasts in time with the green beans. (This recipe is easily halved: Simply cut the quantities in half and roast all the green beans on one sheet pan. The cooking time will remain the same.)

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees and position the oven racks in the lower and top thirds of the oven. Divide the green beans and pancetta evenly between two sheet pans. Drizzle each sheet pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, and roast for 10 minutes. Toss, switch racks, and roast for 5 to 10 more minutes, until cooked to your liking.
- Sprinkle with the lemon juice. Season with salt to taste, toss, and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with the lemon zest and serve hot or warm.
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 stem ends of the beans. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the green beans quickly: Green beans should be cooked quickly over high heat to retain their color and crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the beans to cook evenly and prevent them from overcrowding.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If the skillet is too crowded, the beans will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
- Season the beans to taste: Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings to taste.
- Serve the beans immediately: Green beans are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Sautéed green beans with pancetta and mushrooms is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The beans are cooked quickly over high heat to retain their color and crunch, and the pancetta and mushrooms add a savory flavor to the dish. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or for a special occasion.
