Green Beans With Warm Raisin Caper Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Crimp and fold the edges of a double layer of aluminum foil so it resembles a rimmed baking sheet. Put the beans in the center and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 2 tablespoons water.
• Place the foil on the grill cook, tossing the beans occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
• While the beans grill, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings and then stir the mustard, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the skillet until combined.
• Transfer the beans to a servings bowl and pour the warm vinaigrette over top. Toss well, scatter with the cooked bacon and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add the green beans and salt and pepper to taste. Saute, stirring occasionally, until crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and set aside.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the cream, thyme, lemon juice and zest, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let reduce by half, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the dressing over the green beans to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing once, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook green beans until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain; return beans to pot.
• In a small saucepan, mix together shallot, mustard, and vinegar, then whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream. Heat mixture over low, whisking constantly, just until warm.
• Toss beans with vinaigrette, toasted bread, and chopped dill. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a platter, garnish with dill sprigs, and serve.

Steps:

• Boil 1 pound mixed green and wax beans in salted water until crisp-tender, 6 minutes; drain. Chop 3 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons capers and the zest of 1 lemon and mash together to make a coarse paste; saute in olive oil, 2 minutes. Add the juice of the lemon and bring to a boil. Add the beans and toss until glazed, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Set a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Fill with enough water to come just below basket. Bring to a boil; place green beans in basket, and reduce to a simmer. Cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add raisins, and cover; steam until raisins have plumped, 1 minute more.
• Transfer green beans and raisins to a medium bowl; add oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix green onions, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, white sugar, mustard, basil, oregano, marjoram and pepper.
• Place green beans in a steaming basket. Steam in a medium saucepan over boiling water 5 minutes, or to desired tenderness.
• Place green beans in a medium serving dish. Pour dressing mixture over the beans.

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.
