Grilled Green Beans With Bacon Vinaigrette Recipes

GRANDMA'S GREEN BEANS WITH BACON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
• Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any onion bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook until bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add green beans to the skillet with the sauce; toss to coat well. Chop cooked bacon and stir into the beans. Serve hot.

GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water using tongs, pushing the beans down to submerge them. Let cool completely, about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the shallots and stir to coat. Let sit until the green beans are ready.
• Whisk the mustard into the shallot mixture, then gradually add the olive oil, whisking constantly, until smooth and thick. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CRISPY RICE AND GREEN BEANS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Preheat a wood-fired or regular oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat the bottom of a 14-inch cast-iron pan with canola oil and turn on the heat to medium-high. Meanwhile, portion the rice into 4 flattened discs, about 3/4 cup each. Once the oil is heated, add the rice cakes and cook until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes for each side.
• Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook until slightly softened and brightened in color, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the haricots to an ice water bath until cool to the touch. Slice each haricot into thin rings. Transfer to a bowl and dress with some Fish Sauce Vinaigrette. Fold in the tobiko and set aside.
• Prepare the fish for the grill by rubbing the fillets with olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Rub the grill grates with an oiled towel and lay the fillets down. Cook with the grill open until you have nice grill marks and the fish releases easily from the grill, 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip and let cook another 5 minutes. Remove the fish to a sheet tray. Transfer to the oven until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the crispy rice cakes on a platter and top with the grilled halibut fillets. Drizzle the Vinaigrette over the fish and around the platter. Garnish each halibut fillet with a teaspoon of the tobiko and a few sprigs of the wood sorrel and serve.
• Whisk together the olive oil, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, sugar, chives, curry powder, ginger, sesame oil, chile, garlic, lime zest and juice in a small bowl until combined.
