A salad of freshly picked green beans is a true treat. Whatever the color - green, purple or pale yellow - choose smaller beans, which are naturally more tender.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt and pepper
1 1/2 to 2 pounds small green beans, or a mixture of different colors, topped and tailed
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 small shallot, diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup good-quality pitted green olives, halved
2 tablespoons chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to a boil. Add beans and cook for 2 minutes, until firm-tender. Drain and rinse beans with cool water, then blot with a kitchen towel. Set aside.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Put garlic, shallot and vinegar in a small bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and a smaller pinch of pepper; let macerate for 5 to 10 minutes. Add mustard and whisk to dissolve, then whisk in olive oil.
  • Assemble the salad: Put cooked beans in a serving bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add olives and half the vinaigrette. Toss well, then taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle salad with dill and chives and serve.

FASOLIYYEH BI Z-ZAYT (SYRIAN GREEN BEANS WITH OLIVE OIL)



Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Green Beans with Olive Oil) image

I learned how to make this while visiting my husband's family in Syria. It can be a healthy, fast, easy vegetarian/vegan main dish for lunch or dinner that is surprisingly filling when eaten with pita bread, or it can be a flavorful side dish.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16 ounce) package frozen cut green beans
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
salt to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the green beans into a large pot, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt to taste, and put the lid on the pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are cooked to your desired doneness. Syrians like it cooked until the green beans are turning brownish in color. The idea is not to saute them, but to let them steam in the moisture released by the ice crystals.
  • Add cilantro and garlic to the beans, and continue to cook just until the cilantro has started to wilt. Eat as a main course by scooping up with warm pita bread or serve as a side dish.
