Butter Braised Root Vegetables And Green Beans Recipes

LEMON & BUTTER BRAISED BEET GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat, and add the garlic.
• Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but does not take on any color.
• Add the moist greens, raise the heat to medium-high, and cover the pan. Cook until the greens wilt, about 2 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.
• Remove the cover; if there's any excess liquid, cook until it evaporates.
• Toss the greens with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and serve hot.

BUTTERY GARLIC GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place green beans into a large skillet and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans start to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain water. Add butter to green beans; cook and stir until butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Cook and stir garlic with green beans until garlic is tender and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with lemon pepper and salt.

BUTTER-BRAISED ROOT VEGETABLES AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• With a sharp knife peel celery root and cut into 1-inch pieces. Diagonally cut carrots into 1-inch-thick pieces. Quarter shallots lengthwise. In a 2-quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat. Add celery root, carrots, shallots, salt, and pepper to taste, stirring to coat vegetables with butter, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. While root vegetables are cooking, trim beans. Stir beans into root vegetables and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, until all vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
