Green Bean Almondine With Citrus Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Whisk until combined. Set aside.
• In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and place the beans in a serving dish. Toss with the vinaigrette and almonds and serve.

Steps:

• Cook 1 pound trimmed, halved green beans in salted boiling water until tender, 3 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water. Saute 1/4 cup sliced almonds in butter in a skillet over medium heat until golden, 2 minutes; add a pinch of nutmeg. Stir in the beans and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and blot dry with paper towels. (You can refrigerate the green beans, covered, for up to 4 hours.)
• Whisk the lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, mustard and honey in a large bowl. Slowly add the olive oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing is emulsified. Add the green beans, orange and grapefruit segments, cilantro, red onion and jalapeno; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with the almonds.

Steps:

• Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Fill a large bowl with ice water; set aside.
• Place green beans, stem ends trimmed, in basket. Cover; steam until crisp-tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Plunge beans in ice water. When cool, drain; pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake extra-virgin olive oil, white-wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, coarse salt, and ground pepper until thickened and combined. Pour over beans; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Melt margarine in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add beans; cook and stir 5 min. or until crisp-tender.
• Stir in lemon juice, mustard and dill; cook 2 to 3 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently.
• Sprinkle with nuts.

Steps:

• Place green beans in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until beans are al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add olive oil and mix thoroughly. Add almond slivers, mix until coated, and spread out evenly in the bottom of the skillet. Stir continuously, until almonds just begin to turn golden brown. Remove almonds to a small bowl and continue stirring for 1 minute until cool enough to taste. Add salt.
• Pour almonds over green beans and toss to ensure even coating. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place beans into a microwave-safe casserole dish with enough water to cover the bottom. Microwave on high power until almost tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold running water to keep the nice green color.
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add almonds and cook until just starting to turn golden, about 5 minutes, watching closely so as to not burn. Take pan off of heat and add butter to melt. Return to heat and add garlic. Mix in green beans, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
