GREEN BEANS AMANDINE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once it's completely melted, add the almonds. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, until the butter has browned and the almonds are beginning to brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. (Your patience will pay off, I promise!)
• Add the shallot and cook, while stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water. While stirring, cook until the liquid thickens enough that your spatula leaves an open trail on the pan behind it, about 1 more minute.
• Use your spatula to scoop all the mixture into a bowl, and set it aside for now. Return the empty skillet to the stovetop, and add the green beans, ½ cup water and ½ teaspoon salt. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are nearly tender, about 9 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the lid and cook over medium-high heat until the liquid evaporates, about 2 to 4 minutes.
• Off the heat, add the reserved almond mixture to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve. Leftover green beans will keep the fridge, covered, for about 4 days.

EASY SWEET GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat water in a pot large enough to hold all of your beans until boiling.
• Wash, trim and cut your green beans into bite sized pieces while you are waiting for the water to boil.
• When water is boiling and your beans are prepared dump them into the boiling water for about 5 minutes or bright green.
• While beans are boiling grab a medium bowl and combine soy sauce, melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until blended. Set aside.
• When beans are cooked drain them in a colander in the sink or how ever you prefer. Return beans to the pot and add the soy mixture on top of the beans. Toss beans in mixture until they are all coated. Serve immediately.
• I always serve this dish with rice. I usually serve the beans beside or on top of the rice with a little extra sauce drizzled all over!

SWEET AND SPICY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Arrange a steamer basket in a pot over boiling water, and steam the green beans 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, garlic, garlic chili sauce, and honey.
• Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans, and fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce mixture. Continue cooking and stirring 2 minutes, or until the liquid is nearly evaporated. Serve immediately.

GREEN BEANS WITH SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Steps:

• Snap ends off beans; cut in half if beans are large. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the beans, onion, garlic, salt, if using, and pepper.
• Bring back to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook about 8 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender; drain.
• Sprinkle the sunflower seeds and oregano over the beans. Toss lightly to mix.

SWEET AND SALTY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Wash and cut the green beans to a uniform size so that they cook at the same time.
• Bring to a boil water and pinch of salt.
• Blanche the green beans in the boiling water for about 4-5 minutes. Meanwhile add ice and water to a bowl and set aside. When the time is up quickly, with a slotted spoon, plunge the green beans in the cold water to stop the cooking process. The green beans should be cooked but still firm and be able to hold up a shape.
• Add the Olive oil, fish sauce, vinegar, sesame seeds, erythritol and garlic to a cast iron over medium heat. Saute the sauce for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
• Add the blanched green beans and cilantro to the cast iron and saute for about 5 more minutes until the greed beans are just crisped and the sauce sticks to the green beans.
• Serve immediately.

THE BEST GREEN BEANS EVER

Steps:

• Snap the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife if you'd prefer.
• Melt the bacon grease in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a minute. Then add the green beans and cook until the beans turn bright green, about a minute. Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, leaving the lid cracked to allow steam to escape. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp, 20 to 30 minutes. You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don't be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can start to caramelize.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the butter and the oil in a large pan and fry the mushrooms for 10-15 mins until golden. Stir in the green beans and cook for another 3-4 mins until the beans turn bright green. Scoop out the veg onto a plate.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the remaining butter in the pan until foaming. Remove from the heat briefly and sprinkle over the flour, stirring into the butter to make a golden brown paste. Return to the heat and add the milk, a splash at a time, continually stirring until all the milk has been added and you get a smooth, thick white sauce. Season well. Stir the beans and mushrooms into the white sauce, and spoon into a medium ovenproof dish.
• Scatter over the crispy onions, then bake for 20-30 mins until bubbling and golden, covering if the onions brown too quickly.
