Green Beans With Browned Butter And Hazelnuts Food

BROWN BUTTER & HAZELNUT GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• You'll begin by toasting and skinning the hazelnuts. Spread the hazelnuts out on a pan evenly and bake at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes on the middle rack. The skins should begin to blister and the nuts should have a slightly darker color to them. Keep a close eye on them because you don't want to burn the nuts! (While the nuts roast, trim the green beans and start the water.)
• Once you pull the hazelnuts out of the oven, wrap them up in a kitchen towel for about a minute. This will slightly steam them and loosen the skins. Rub them all together inside the towel and discard the loose skins. Don't worry if some skins stay on. Essentially you just want to get rid of the majority so they don't get stuck in your teeth! Coarsely crush up the nuts and set aside.
• Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil with about 2 tablespoons salt, or enough water to cover the beans. Once the water boils, throw the beans in and boil for 3-4 minutes. Test one of the beans for tenderness and preferred doneness. I tend to boil for the shortest period of time because I like crunchy beans, and you don't want to overcook them because you'll lose that delicious snap. Strain out the water and set aside.
• Brown butter is simple but delicate. Using a medium sized skillet, put 3 tbsp of butter in the pan over medium heat. The butter will melt and start to bubble as it rises in temperature.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, add the crushed hazelnuts and cook in butter until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. You're looking for a sweet spot of golden brown butter. Remove from direct heat.
• Transfer the green beans to the pan with the butter and hazelnuts to get everything to serving temperature while stirring to coat the beans. Salt and pepper to taste, mix it up. Place into a serving bowl and garnish with a fair amount of chèvre. Enjoy thoroughly.

GREEN BEANS WITH BROWNED BUTTER

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, place beans in 1 inch of water. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender (they shouldn't be "squeaky" when you bite into one); drain. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Be careful not to let butter burn or it will taste bitter. Stir in pecans. Heat, stirring constantly, until butter is golden brown. (If bottom of saucepan is dark, it may be difficult to see the difference between brown butter and burnt butter. Try spooning a little of the butter onto a white plate to see the color more clearly.) Immediately remove from heat. Pour butter mixture over beans; toss to coat. Sprinkle with lemon peel.

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.
