BEST GREEN BEANS EVER

Steps:

• Take 5-6 green beans and wrap the turkey bacon around the center.

• Serve and enjoy!

GREEN BEANS TO IMPRESS

Steps:

• Top and tail the beans, but leave them whole.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil and, when boiling, drop beans in; cook approximately eight minutes or until beans are tender-crisp (if you like your beans to be softer, by all means cook them longer).
• Drain well and set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add walnuts to pan and, stirring frequently to prevent burning, cook walnuts for 2 or 3 minutes, or until they start to turn golden and are fragrant.
• Add drained beans to skillet and toss gently, making sure beans get coated with butter.
• Heat through for one minute, stirring gently once or twice, then turn out onto a shallow serving platter.
• Shave or sliver parmesan so it is in shards (most box graters have a slicing side, and this works well), and place all parmesan slivers on top of beans and walnuts; serve immediately.
• Note: if you absolutely cannot find a cheese counter where you can buy a piece of parmesan cheese, use 1/4 cup grated, but please make sure it is freshly grated; there is a huge flavour difference between fresh and the grated stuff you can buy off the shelf.

EASY GARLIC GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green beans and garlic until beans begin to thaw. Season with salt and continue cooking and stirring until beans are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch green beans in a large stock pot of well salted boiling water until bright green in color and tender crisp, roughly 2 minutes. Drain and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the butter. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and continue to saute until coated in the butter and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.

GARLIC BUTTER GREEN BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place 6 cups of water and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring it to a boil.
• Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice and water. Line a sheet pan with a few sheets of paper towel. Set them aside.
• Carefully add the green beans into the boiling water. Cook until crisp and tender, 5 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon or a spider strainer, transfer the green beans into the ice water. Let them cool to room temperature completely for about 5 minutes. Drain and then transfer on to the sheet pan lined with paper towels. Dry as much as you can.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet (10 or 12 inch) over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds.
• Add in the green beans and gently stir to make sure they are coated with the butter and garlic mixture. Sautee, turning often, for 2-3 minutes or until green beans are softened but still tender.
• If preferred, toss in the lemon zest at the last minute. Transfer the beans on a plate and serve.

ALMOND GREEN BEANS (GREEN BEAN ALMONDINE)

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet on medium-low heat and add the sliced almonds. Toast the almonds for 2-3 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Do not walk away! Once the almonds are toasted, pour them into a small bowl and set aside. Set the skillet aside, as you will use it again shortly.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, drain the beans and blanch them in a bowl of cool (not iced) water. Drain them again and set them aside in a bowl.
• Return the skillet to the stovetop and melt the butter over medium-high heat.
• Add the beans to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the lemon juice and sliced almonds (reserving some for using as garnish). Cook for an additional minute or until the beans are tender. Do not overcook.
• Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the beans warm and garnish with salt, pepper, and additional sliced almonds.
