Green Bean, Red Pepper, and Shallot Sauté

by Pam on December 16, 2012

My heart goes out to all who have been affected by the horrific and senseless violence this past week in Connecticut and Oregon. My thoughts & prayers are with you all!!!

On a happier note, I was recently contacted by Red Tricycle^[1] who informed me that I won the award for the 2012 Most Awesome Awards for Fantastic Family Recipes.^[2] Thanks for voting for me – you are the best and most loyal readers a girl could hope for. I really appreciate your support and I feel very honored to have won!

On with the recipe:

I made this sauté to go with the Long Grain and Wild Rice with Mushrooms and Shallots^[3] and the Mustard-Maple Chicken Thighs^[4] and they all paired nicely together. This side dish seriously took me less than 10 minutes to make and it tasted healthy, flavorful, and delicious. It was also a great way to use up the extra green beans and red bell pepper in my refrigerator.

Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the tablespoon of water along with the green beans and red bell pepper; cover with a lid and steam for 3 minutes, or until just fork tender but still a little crisp. Remove the lid, add the olive oil to the pan along with the shallot and minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Green Beans with Lemon and Garlic

by Pam on August 19, 2013

I wanted a simple side dish to serve with the fish and orzo I was making for dinner. I had some green beans, lemon, and garlic so I decided to toss them all together. It was easy to prepare and tasted simple yet delicious. My kids gobbled up their green beans and said they tasted good with the lemon. I love it when my kids eat their veggies – it looks like I’ll be making this recipe again.

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the trimmed green beans and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the water and cover with a lid; cook for 2 minutes. Remove lid and add the butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Serve and enjoy.

Side Note: I used thin Haricots Verts for this recipe. If you use large green beans they may need a longer cooking time.

Garlic & Blue Cheese Green Bean Almondine – I Just Couldn’t Do It

When I went to culinary school in the early Eighties, the
chef instructors used “Green Beans Almondine” as a prime example for the kind
of stodgy, clichéd, faux-fancy, vegetable side dishes that we were supposed to
eradicate shortly after graduation.

This was the dawn of a new age of American
cookery, and something so old-fashioned as green beans almondine had no place
along side our newfangled raspberry vinaigrettes and cajun fish.

There was only one problem with this prohibition…green
beans and almonds tasted really good together, and made for a lovely side dish once in
a while. Of course, fearing you’d be laughed out of the young, hot cooks club
(hot from heat, not from hotness) you just didn’t dare make or serve such a
dinosaur.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I’ve finally done a
green beans almondine video, but added roasted garlic and blue cheese to it,
just in case any of my old classmates are watching. I actually did this at Thanksgiving, sans nuts, and it got
rave reviews, so I had a feeling the addition of the slivered almonds would
work just fine, and they did! I hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients for 4-6 portions:
1 pound green beans, blanched in boiling, salted water until
almost tender

3 heads garlic

olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

cayenne to taste

1/3 cup sliced almonds browned in 1 tsp butter

2 oz Pt. Reyes blue cheese, or other blue cheese

400 degrees F. for 15 minutes
