This is a wonderful,classic preparation for a green beans side dish - simmer beans until bright green then toss with garlic until golden and crispy. Serve as a side with everything, any cuisine, from Western to Italian, Middle Eastern to French!If serving with Asian food, I like to add the tiniest drizzle of sesame oil at the end and sometimes a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC



Green Beans With Ginger and Garlic image

Here is a recipe for fresh green beans, boiled just until barely tender and bright green, then tossed in a pan with minced garlic and ginger. The beans can be cooked a day ahead, leaving nothing more to do before the meal than to assemble everything over high heat.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Salt
2 1/2 pounds green beans (French-style slim haricots verts work especially well), trimmed
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger (about 6 inches ginger root, peeled)
4 medium-size garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
  • When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.

BRAISED WHITE BEANS AND GREENS WITH PARMESAN



Braised White Beans and Greens With Parmesan image

Inspired by the Italian dish of sautéed puntarelle (a Italian variety of chicory) and white beans, this recipe makes a satisfying vegetarian main course or a hearty side dish for roast chicken or sausages. It opts for canned white beans, for the sake of weeknight convenience, and Swiss chard, which is much milder than puntarelle and easier to find in the U.S. Kale or escarole would also work well, if that's what you've got. On that note, grated Pecorino Romano cheese gives the broth a more pungent element, but Parmesan will work in its place. Serve in shallow bowls with toasted country bread to mop up the garlicky broth.

Categories     dinner, weekday, beans, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
1 small fennel bulb, trimmed, cored and small-diced
1 small yellow onion, small-diced
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or thyme
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 large or 2 small bunches escarole, kale or Swiss chard, stems removed (10 to 12 ounces)
2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed
2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, plus more for serving
Toasted country bread, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the fennel, onion and rosemary, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Begin adding handfuls of the greens, cooking and stirring until leaves wilt.
  • Add the white beans, broth and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer, mashing some of the beans with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has reduced and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, then the mozzarella, if using, and Pecorino Romano. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Divide among shallow bowls and top with more Pecorino Romano. Serve with toasted bread and a dish of red-pepper flakes on the side.

Tips:

  • Prep is key: Before jumping into the cooking process, ensure your greens are properly washed, trimmed, and chopped into bite-sized pieces. Canned cannellini beans should be rinsed and drained.
  • Garlic and olive oil: Sautéing garlic in olive oil creates a flavorful base for the dish. Use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Wilt the greens: Gradually add the prepared greens to the skillet and allow them to wilt slightly. This process helps reduce their volume and enhances their flavor.
  • Seasoning is essential: Don't shy away from adding a flavorful combination of salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and vegetable bouillon. These ingredients provide a well-rounded taste profile to the dish.
  • Bringing it all together: Once the greens are wilted, stir in the cannellini beans, white wine, vegetable broth, and lemon juice. Simmer the mixture until the flavors meld and the beans are heated through.
  • Serve with style: Garnish the sautéed greens with freshly chopped parsley or basil before serving. This adds a pop of color and fresh flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Sautéed Greens with Cannellini Beans and Garlic is a delicious, versatile dish that combines the goodness of leafy greens, hearty beans, and aromatic garlic. Its simplicity allows for customization, making it a suitable side dish for grilled meats or fish, or even a delectable vegetarian main course. With its nutritional value and ease of preparation, this recipe is a welcome addition to any healthy and flavorful meal plan.
