Snap Beans Gremolata Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil and 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced into rings in a small saucepan over medium-high. Stir occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 5-8 minutes. Transfer shallots to paper towels; season with kosher salt. Pour shallot oil into a small bowl; let cool.
• Meanwhile, toast 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes in same saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until edges are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool. Add fried shallot, 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, and 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest and toss; season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Toss 1 pound halved sugar snap peas, 2 cups pea shoots (tendrils), 1/4 cup torn mint leaves, 3 tablespoons shallot oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, and 2 teaspoons fish sauce in a medium bowl; season with flaky sea salt and pepper. Let sit 5 minutes. Serve topped with gremolata.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Drain the beans in a colander and immediately put them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color.
• For the gremolata, toss the garlic, lemon zest, parsley, parmesan, and pine nuts in a small bowl and set aside.
• When ready to serve, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Drain the beans and pat them dry. Add the beans to the pan and saute, turning frequently, for 2 minutes, until coated with olive oil and heated through. Off the heat, add the gremolata and toss well. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and serve hot.

Steps:
