Brown Butter Green Beans In The Microwave Recipes

GREEN BEANS WITH BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, place beans in 1 inch of water. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender (they shouldn't be "squeaky" when you bite into one); drain. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Be careful not to let butter burn or it will taste bitter. Stir in pecans. Heat, stirring constantly, until butter is golden brown. (If bottom of saucepan is dark, it may be difficult to see the difference between brown butter and burnt butter. Try spooning a little of the butter onto a white plate to see the color more clearly.) Immediately remove from heat. Pour butter mixture over beans; toss to coat. Sprinkle with lemon peel.

GREEN BEANS TOSSED IN BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 2-inches of water and place a steamer inside. Bring water to a boil. Add string beans and cover for 5 minutes, or until beans are cooked throughout but still crisp to the bite. If you don't have a steamer, toss beans in a large pot of boiling water for 4 minutes.
• Thoroughly drain water then return beans to the emptied pot. Let beans sit, uncovered, for 2 minutes so that any water coating them has evaporated. Pour out any accumulated water.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, or until melted butter has turned golden brown (this adds a slightly nutty flavor). Remove from heat and add lemon juice and beans and toss thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss again.

• Cut off the top of the garlic head and discard. Put the garlic on a square of aluminum foil and drizzle with the olive oil. Wrap the foil around the garlic, put in the oven and roast for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, remove the garlic from the foil and squeeze the garlic head, cut side down, over a small bowl until all of the roasted garlic cloves pop out. Mash the pulp with a fork and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat melt the butter and cook until it begins to foam, turn light brown and acquire a nutty aroma. Turn the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the green beans, roasted garlic, and almonds, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the beans to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
