PAN-ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH GOLDEN ALMONDS



Pan-Roasted Green Beans With Golden Almonds image

This simple almond-shallot topping goes with just about any simply cooked vegetable, but it tastes best with green beans. Instead of simply blanching the beans, I char them until they develop a smoky richness.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
8 ounces green and/or wax beans, trimmed
1/4 cup blanched whole almonds, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, thinly sliced
1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add salt (a teaspoon or so, or to taste). Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green but still firm, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water. When cool, drain again. Pat dry with paper towels until completely dry.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the almonds and the oil, adding more oil if needed to just cover the almonds. Cook over medium heat until the almonds are golden, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shallot. It will cook in the residual heat.
  • Coat a large skillet with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the beans and season with salt. Cook, tossing frequently, until charred dark brown in spots and tender-crisp, about 7 minutes.
  • Top with the almond mixture, then the parsley. Grate the zest from a quarter of the lemon directly over the beans, then cut the lemon into wedges for serving. Season with pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking to remove any tough or fibrous parts.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes to help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the green beans so that they can be spread out in a single layer and cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the green beans to help them sear and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the almonds and tarragon to the green beans towards the end of cooking to prevent them from burning.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the green beans immediately as a side dish or main course.
