Green Bean Bundles With Lemon Cashew Butter Recipes

Steps:

• In 4-quart Dutch oven, heat water to boiling. Add beans. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 5 minutes. Cover and boil 3 to 5 minutes longer or until crisp-tender. Drain beans; return to Dutch oven.
• Mix teriyaki glaze, margarine, honey and mustard until well blended. Pour over beans; toss until evenly coated. Stir in bell peppers. Sprinkle with cashews.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until partially cooked. Drain, cut each piece in half, and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the green beans on a rack or special steamer basket over the boiling water. Cover with a lid so that the steam does not escape. Steam for a few minutes until the green beans are done. Set the green beans aside. Reserve about 2 cups of the water and dissolve the bouillon cube in it.
• Take a bundle of green beans (4 or 5) and wrap them with a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Place the bundles in a shallow baking dish.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the reserved stock with the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, butter, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the sauce over the bundles and bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 20 minutes or until the bacon is done.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

• Divide into 8 bundles.
• Slice red peppers into 1/4 inch slices.
• Wrap each bundle of beans with a red pepper slice. Secure with a toothpick if necessary, but be sure to remove them or warn your guests so they don't bite into one! (Don't ask -- ).
• Arrange on a baking sheet. This can be refrigerated overnight, if you're making them ahead.
• Cook cashews in butter, stirring until toasted and butter is lightly brown.
• Remove from heat.
• Add rind, juice, onions, and parsley. This may also be refrigerated overnight, covered.
• Remove beans and butter mixture 30 minutes before serving. Warm butter if necessary.

Steps:

• Cut bacon into thirds.
• Wrap 8-10 beans in a piece of bacon and secure with toothpick.
• Place in 9 X 13 casserole.
• Cover with marinade of brown sugar, butter, garlic salt, and soy sauce.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a big pot of water to the boil, while you top and tail (trim) the beans. Once the water has come to the boil, salt it and cook the beans until they have lost their rawness (about 6 minutes after the water comes back to the boil), but retain a bit of crunch.
• Strain them, and put the pot back on the stove over a low heat with the butter and olive oil. While the butter melts, chop up the lemon. Put it on a chopping board, cut a slice off each end, just enough to remove skin and pith, and then cut downwards, turning the lemon as you go, to peel the fruit fully. Don't worry if in order to remove all the pith you cut into the fruit a bit: just take the pieces of fruity peel over to the pan and squeeze in any juice you can. Then cut the lemon up on the board: I just slice and let each slice tumble into bits on its own. Add the lemon pieces and all the juice that collects to the melted butter and stir well with a wooden spoon, adding the drained beans.
• Swirl the pan vigorously and turn the beans in the lemony butter. Add salt to taste and lots of freshly ground pepper. I love white pepper (out of deference to my mother's taste and practice) or the much-abominated 1980s restaurant-style mixed pepper, but neither is crucial.
• Remove to a warmed casserole making sure you don't leave any lemony, buttery juices behind.

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil.
• Add salt and beans.
• Return to a boil and cook 4-5 minutes or they are crisp tender.
• Remove from heat and drain.

• Season with pepper and more salt if you need it.

Steps:

• Cook the beans until crisp-tender. Wrap about 10 beans in each bacon strip; secure with a toothpick. Place on a foil-covered baking sheet. Bake at 400° until bacon is done, 10-15 minutes. , In a skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add vinegar, sugar and salt; heat through. Remove bundles to a serving bowl or platter; pour sauce over and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Fill a medium (3-quart) saucepan three-quarters full of cold water. Set over high heat, and bring to a boil. Add salt and beans. Cook until water returns to a boil and beans are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain.
• Immediately return beans to saucepan. Add butter and zest. Toss; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl; serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Cut stem ends off unpeeled garlic cloves. Place cloves on a piece of foil. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil; wrap in foil. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cloves are soft. Unwrap and cool slightly. Squeeze garlic from skins; mash with a fork to form a paste., In a Dutch oven, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans and garlic; cook and stir 2-3 minutes. Add water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 7-10 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender and water is almost evaporated, stirring occasionally. Add cashews, salt and pepper; toss to combine.
