Fresh Green Bean And Pimiento Bundles Recipes

GREEN BEAN BUNDLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Wash and trim green beans. Skip this step if using packaged French Cut Green Beans (haricots verts)
• Blanch the beans- bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add green beans, and cook until crisp tender, about 4-5 minutes (this may take a 1-2 min. longer if using thicker beans vs. French Cut Green Beans)
• While beans are cooking fill a large bowl with ice water. Drain beans, and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain beans, and blot dry with paper towels. Set aside.
• Whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne powder in a large bowl. Add beans and toss to coat.
• Gather beans into 12 bundles of approx. 12-15 beans each. Lay out 1 piece of prosciutto (which has been cut in half lengthwise) on a cutting board or other flat surface. Place one bundle of beans at end of prosciutto piece and roll up lengthwise. Place bundle, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining prosciutto slices.
• Bake at 450F until beans are warmed and prosciutto slices begin to brown, approx. 5-7 minutes. Serve immediately. Garnish with toasted almonds, if desired.
