Green Bean Pastry Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Cut one sheet of puff pastry into long ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide strips and set aside.
• Cut strips of bacon in half lengthwise and set aside.
• Take a trimmed green bean and carefully wrap it with bacon and the puff pastry to completely cover the bean.
• Place the tightly wrapped beans on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Brush the wrapped beans with the egg wash, and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and the puff pastry is golden brown.
• Serve the twists warm or at room temperature.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On lightly floured surface, gently roll out each pastry sheet to 10-by-12 inches.
• Cut each sheet into 30 2-inch squares, ending with a total of 60 squares (a pizza cutter works great for this).
• Lightly score each square about 1/8 inch around the edges and prick liberally with a fork. This will keep the pastry from puffing up too much during cooking.
• Transfer pastry squares to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets and put into the refrigerator.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add onions to pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
• Stir in sugar, flour, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Add sour cream, green beans, and half of cheese to onion mixture and stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Take pastry squares out of refrigerator and top each one with a small spoonful of the green bean mixture and shredded cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, remove from the oven. Top each square with a few French fried onions. Return to the oven and continue cooking for an additional 6-8 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-low heat, toast the almonds, stirring frequently so they don't burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, combine the almonds, celery or parsley leaves, lemon zest, garlic and a pinch of salt. Set aside and wipe out skillet.
• Add pasta to boiling water and cook until it is al dente, according to package directions. About 2 minutes before it's done, add the beans to the pasta pot. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta and beans.
• While the pasta and beans drain, make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in the large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden in color, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn heat to low and add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet (be careful of splattering) and cook until it is reduced by about half, 1 to 2 minutes more. Turn heat to medium and add the pasta, green beans and butter to the skillet and toss until the butter melts. Add the cheese and an additional 1/4 cup water and toss until the cheese is emulsified and the pasta is glossy with sauce. If needed, add an additional 1/4 cup pasta water to loosen. Season with kosher salt, to taste.
• Transfer the pasta to a large bowl, top with gremolata and drizzle with more olive oil. Pass additional grated cheese at the table, if desired.

Steps:

• Stir together all the ingreidents until a lumpy mixture.
• Form in to 2 inch paties and fill with paste.
• Bake on a baking sheet at 350 for 10 min then turn heat to 300 for 20 more min until light and crispy.

Steps:

• Cook the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 mins until just tender, then drain well and steam-dry for a min.
• Meanwhile, gently fry the garlic in the oil until pale golden - no further. Toss with the beans, season and serve.
