GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC

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.

GREEN BEANS WITH CORIANDER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• 1. Cook the beans in the boiling salted water in a large covered saucepan over moderate heat 10 to 12 minutes until tender.
• 2. Meanwhile, place the garlic and coriander in a large heat-proof bowl. As soon as the beans are done, drain well, return to moderate heat, and shake the pan 30 to 40 seconds to drive off all excess moisture. Dump the hot beans on top of the garlic and coriander and let stand 10 minutes.
• 3. Add 5 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss well to mix; cover and marinate in the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours or, better yet, overnight.
• 4. About 45 minutes before serving, bring the beans from the refrigerator and let stand, still covered, on the counter. Just before serving, add the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, and the pepper. Toss well, taste, and add more vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper, if needed.
• 5. Serve as an accompaniment to pork, poultry, veal, or beef.

GARLICKY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Cook the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 mins until just tender, then drain well and steam-dry for a min.
• Meanwhile, gently fry the garlic in the oil until pale golden - no further. Toss with the beans, season and serve.

GARLIC GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Prepare a large bowl of ice water and bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 30 seconds. Drain the beans and immediately submerge them in the ice water to stop the cooking. Let the beans sit in the ice water for a couple of minutes, and then drain thoroughly.
• In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes; do not let the garlic brown. Stir in the green beans and cook gently until crisp-tender, 10 to 12 minutes, or until softer to the bite-this is how I like them-20 to 25 minutes. You want to hear a gentle sizzling sound as they cook, but no more than that. Add salt to taste and serve.
• Placing green vegetables in boiling water for less than a minute and then plunging them into ice water-what professionals call blanching and shocking-keeps them very green and pretty. You can skip this step if you don't have time to wait for the water to boil.
