Best Green Beans With Hazelnuts Recipes

GREEN BEANS WITH BROWNED BUTTER AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the hazelnuts and toast the hazelnuts until the skins are dark brown but not burned. Keep the heat low so that you don't burn the hazelnuts. It should take about 6-7 minutes. Let cool enough to handle and rub the skins off. You can use a towel or a garlic peeler. Coarsely chop and set aside.
• Add 1 cup water to the saute pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the green beans and cover with lid. Steam the beans for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Immediately drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking.
• Wipe the saute pan dry and return to the stove on medium-high heat. Add the butter and let the butter brown and bubble. Once the butter is browned, add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and the green beans. Use your spatula or large spoon to scoop up some of the browned balsamic butter up and over the green beans. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts.

ZESTY GREEN BEANS WITH TOASTED HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Green beans: Bring a large saucepan of heavily salted water (as "salty as seawater") to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. When the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook until just crisp-tender and bright green, 3-4 minutes. Use the strainer to immediately transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Set aside while you make the vinaigrette. (Note: Green beans can be blanched 1 day ahead. After cooling, drain, wrap in a clean dish towel, and store in the refrigerator.)
• Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir the honey and vinegar together with a small rubber spatula. Add the hazelnut oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly, until all the ingredients are combined. Season with salt and pepper, whisking as you go and tasting between additions.
• Assemble: Line a bowl with paper towels. Transfer the cooled green beans from the ice bath into the bowl; pat them dry and remove paper towels. Spoon half of the vinaigrette over the green beans and use your hands to mix well; taste, then add more vinaigrette as needed. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a serving plate.
• Garnish: Stack the basil leaves, then roll the stack like a cigar. Finely slice crosswise to create thin ribbons of basil. (This is called a "chiffonade.") Top the green beans with the basil, followed by the hazelnuts; finish by zesting the lemon directly over the green beans. Serve immediately.

• In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add shallots and cook, tossing, until lightly golden and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium, and add 1/2 cup water, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to the same pan. Add the haricots verts and toss to coat. Cover pan and cook, tossing occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove cover, raise heat to high and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are glazed, about 3 minutes more. Toss green beans with tarragon, lemon zest, hazelnuts, and sautéed shallots.
