Green Beans With Toasted Almonds And Cranberries Food

GREEN BEANS WITH ALMONDS AND CRANBERRIES

• Steam green beans until for 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp and tender.
• Place green beans in a bowl. Sprinkle almonds and dried cranberries. Mix to combine.

GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS, GARLIC, TOASTED ALMONDS, AND CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Fill a 3.5-quart or larger stockpot with water and add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt. Turn heat to medium-high, and while water comes to a boil, start the shallot mixture: In a large sauté pan, melt ghee.
• Once pan is warm, add sliced shallots, garlic, and almonds. Let cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until wilted and dark throughout. Then, lower heat to its lowest possible setting, stir in sugar, and leave mixture alone.
• Meanwhile, once the water has boiled, add trimmed green beans and cook for 4 to 10 minutes, until soft but still crunchy. The beans only need 3 to 5 minutes to cook, but we tend to like our blanched beans a little softer than most people, so we let ours cook even longer; just taste to measure crispness along the way, and stop cooking when the beans are the doneness you like.
• Once beans are cooked, remove with a slotted spoon to the pan of shallots, garlic, and almonds. Toss right in the skillet, and add Pecorino and cranberries, mixing everything to coat.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

GREEN BEANS WITH TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 of the butter on stove, add slivered almonds and continuously stir to toast.
• They are done when their color has changed slightly.
• Remove the almonds.
• Melt the rest of the butter, and saute mushrooms with garlic pepper and other seasonings as you wish.
• Meanwhile, cook green beans (I use frozen, so I cook them in the microwave while I'm sauteing).
• Once the mushrooms are done, turn them down to low until the green beans are done.
• Mix together the green beans, mushrooms, and slivered almonds, reserving a tablespoon or so to sprinkle on the top before serving.

GREEN BEAN AND CORN ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) deep skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add green beans and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and toss to evenly coat in the oil. Add 1/2 cup of water, cover and steam until beans are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter and corn, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn and green beans are tender and glazed in the sauce, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs, and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer beans and corn to a large platter and spoon over any remaining sauce. Garnish with the toasted almonds and more black pepper.

GARLIC-ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F (If you're cooking other things you can use a slightly lower temperature, just increase the time a little.).
• Trim ends from green beans. If using thin, long beans, cut in half crosswise into pieces about 2 inches long. Peel and cut shallots and garlic, then place with beans in plastic bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, and use a wooden spoon to toss until beans, shallots, and garlic are well coated with oil.
• Spray roasting pan with nonstick spray or mist with olive oil, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer. (I like to cover the pan with foil, then spray the foil for even easier clean-up.) Roast 12-15 minutes for thin beans, or slightly longer for regular beans, until beans are slightly shriveled, and shallots and garlic are lightly browned.
• While beans cook, toss together chopped parsley, chopped almonds and lemon zest. When beans are done, toss hot beans with parsley/lemon/almond mixture and serve immediately.
