SautÉed Green Beans With Shallots And Nutmeg Recipes

SHALLOT SAUTEED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Bring 6-7 quarts of water to a boil in a large, deep pot. When at a rolling boil, add two pinches of salt.
• Carefully add the washed and trimmed green beans.
• Stir gently for 30-45 seconds, or until the beans turn a bright green color. The ideas is not only to blanch them, but to partially cook them.
• After 30-45 seconds have passed, drain beans into colander. Toss beans to remove any excess water and leave to drain.
• Melt butter over low heat. When foaming subsides, add olive oil. Add the shallots in handfuls, separating the layers while sprinkling into the pan.
• Allow the shallot to cook over medium heat until it becomes slightly translucent.
• Add beans, boost heat to medium high. Toss the beans with the butter and oil until all are coated.
• Continue to toss the beans every few minutes, or until they are cooked through and a little browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH SOY, SHALLOTS, GINGER, GARLIC AND CHILE

Steps:

• Prepare the scallion garnish: Finely slice the scallions on an angle and drop them into a large bowl with ice and water - this will make the scallion threads curl up nicely so they look like ribbons. Set aside.
• Wash green beans under cold running water. Cut off the root ends and discard. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and blanch until bright green, about 2 minutes. Shock in ice water then drain in a colander.
• Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the peanut oil, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger and chile. Stir the mixture around so it fries in the oil and gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and toss a couple of times to coat everything evenly. Saute for a couple of minutes so the beans get a little caramelization. Add the soy sauce and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes; the beans should still be nice and crisp. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with drained scallion curls.
