Green Beans A La Lemon Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir beans in oil over medium heat for 10-13 minutes or until crisp-tender., Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the lemon juice, pepper and salt.

Steps:

• Snap off the stem ends of the green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
• Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony-yellow to golden-tan to, finally, a toasty-brown.
• Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add some lemon juice and salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it (for this, the same water may be used as that in which the potatoes have been blanched); add the beans, and cook until they are just bright green and tender, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the beans, then plunge them into a large bowl filled with ice water, to stop the cooking. When they're cool, drain them again. Zest the lemons, and julienne or mince the zest. Juice the lemons.
• To serve, place the oil in a large skillet, and turn the heat to medium high. Add the beans, and cook, tossing or stirring, until they are hot and glazed with the oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss the beans in a serving bowl with the lemon juice, top with the zest, and then serve.

Steps:

• Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until bright green and just barely cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spider or strainer to transfer the green beans to the ice bath and let cool completely before draining. Add the bucatini to the same pot of boiling water. Let cook to al dente, about 3 minutes less than the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook the garlic and red pepper flakes until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute, then add the lemon zest and juice and approximately 1/4 cup pasta water.
• Use tongs to transfer the pasta directly to the saute pan. Add the butter and blanched green beans, then toss to coat the pasta and beans in the sauce. Keep cooking, tossing, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is glossy and thickened, about 3 minutes more. Turn off the heat and gradually stir in the Pecorino, tossing constantly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Divide pasta among 4 serving bowls and garnish with the parsley, more Pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
• Add parsley and onions and saute for 3-5 minutes.
• Add flour and mix well.
• Add salt, pepper, cayenne, lemon zest and sour cream.
• Add beans and mix well.
• Transfer into a 2 quart casserole and top with stuffing mix (and crumbled bacon if using).
• Drizzle butter over the top.
• Bake in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic green beans and season with salt. Sauté for 2 minutes, just until the garlic is fragrant.
• Add the chicken stock, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes, until the green beans are tender but still bright green. Add the lemon zest and juice and toss to combine. Season with more salt to taste.
• Transfer to a bowl and serve warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Grate the zest of 1/2 lemon, and squeeze 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice.
• In a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook beans until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and return to pan. Remove from heat. Toss with oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice. Serve sprinkled with lemon zest.

Steps:

• Cut beans into 2" to 3" lengths then steam them for about 10 minutes or until just tender.
• Meantime, mix butter, zest, lemon juice, salt & lemon pepper, then combine with steamed beans & toss to coat.
