Best Zesty White Wine Green Beans Recipes

SCREAMING SKILLET GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Wash green beans and pat dry. Snap off the vine end of the bean and place them in a medium size mixing bowl.
• Mince the garlic clove, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoons of salt and run your knife through it a few more times to create a thick chunky paste-like consistency.
• Add garlic, olive oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoons of salt, and pepper to the green beans. Toss to coat thoroughly.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat, either on the stovetop or grill.
• Add green beans to pan and cook 2 minutes until garlic begins to brown, tossing often.
• Add the white wine, toss, cover and allow to cook 90 seconds. Toss, re-cover and cook an additional 90 seconds.
• When the wine in the pan evaporates, add 1/4 cup of water. Continue to cook while covered, tossing every 90 seconds and adding water as needed, no more than 1/4 cup at a time.
• For tender crisp green beans, it should take about 8 minutes total cooking time.
• When the beans are almost done, remove the lid and allow the rest of the liquid to cook off before serving.

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.
