Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound thin green beans
2 tablespoons butter
Freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Snap off the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
  • Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony-yellow to golden-tan to, finally, a toasty-brown.
  • Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add some lemon juice and salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 pounds green beans or snow peas, trimmed
3 lemons
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter

  • Drain the beans, then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water, to stop the cooking. When they're cool, drain them again. Zest the lemons, and julienne or mince the zest. Juice the lemons.
  • To serve, place the oil in a large skillet, and turn the heat to medium high. Add the beans, and cook, tossing or stirring, until they are hot and glazed with the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the beans in a serving bowl with the lemon juice, top with the zest, and then serve.

Green Beans With Lemon Vinaigrette image

Grab-and-go offerings of picnicky food are almost universally mediocre and exasperatingly expensive. Resist the temptation to outsource and make your own. This recipe is built to last. You can make it a day or two ahead of time, or leave it out on the counter if you're going to eat these green beans within a few hours of making it.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

green beans
olive oil
lemon juice
garlic.

Steps:

  • Blanch green beans in boiling water, then plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
  • Toss with a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice and a tiny bit of minced garlic. (To turn this into a main dish, sear some tuna until crusty on the outside, but still raw in the middle. Cut into thick slices or chunks, and toss with the green beans and dressing.)
