Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Kosher salt
1 pound haricots verts, stem end removed (hairy end left on)
Clarified butter, for coating pan
Extra-virgin olive oil, for coating pan
2 small shallots, cut into rings

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil over medium heat. Set up a bowl of ice water and season it generously with salt.
  • Add the beans to the boiling water and cook them until they are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Bite a bean to be sure they are properly cooked. Put them immediately in the bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking or to "shock" them. When they are cold, remove them from the water and let them dry a little.
  • Coat a large saute pan with both clarified butter and olive oil. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat, add the shallots and brown. Add the haricot vert, season with salt and saute until all the beans are coated with oil and hot. Serve immediately or later at room temperature.

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup hazelnuts
Kosher salt
2 pounds haricots verts, trimmed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 7 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub with a kitchen towel to remove the skins; roughly chop and set aside.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to the ice bath; let sit until cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until golden brown flecks appear and the butter smells nutty, about 4 minutes. Add the hazelnuts and cook 30 seconds. Remove the hazelnuts and all but 2 tablespoons of the browned butter to a small bowl; cover to keep warm.
  • Add the broth to the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then add half of the haricots verts and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter using tongs. Repeat with the remaining haricots verts. Top with the hazelnuts. Season with salt and sprinkle with the lemon zest.
