FRESH GREEN BEANS RECIPE IN GARLIC SAUCE

2011-10-10T23:28:00.000-07:00

FRESH GREEN BEANS RECIPE IN GARLIC SAUCE

FRESH GREEN BEAN RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lbs.fresh green beans
4 oz. fresh Shitake mushrooms (optional)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
pinch of fresh basil and oregano, minced
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs (optional)
8 cloves garlic, peeled

FRESH GREEN BEAN RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
In a saucepan, bring 5 cups water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt.
Add fresh green beans (strings and ends removed). Boil beans for 4-5 minutes, until tender but not overcooked. When tender, shock beans in a bowl of ice water to prevent overcooking and retain bright green color. Remove after 30 seconds and let drain in colander.
In a large heavy bottom skillet, heat olive oil with cloves of garlic and mushrooms. Sauté until garlic becomes tan, but not brown.
Mash garlic into oil with the tines of a fork. Add cooled beans, parsley, butter and remaining ingredients. Toss with cheese and bread crumbs (optional) and the fresh green bean recipe is ready to serve when butter has melted....nice one !

Cook's Note: Garlic cloves may be removed before serving, or left in for added flavor, as desired. Garlic can be pureed or pressed through a sieve, but this will eliminate the "roasted" garlic flavor
which characterizes this dish. May be served either warm or cold (if served cold, omit butter).

Variations: A strip of lean bacon or Pancetta may be sautéed in olive oil before adding garlic, then crumbled in. For a piquant flavor, the beans may be served cold, as a salad, and dressed with a
few drops of freshly squeezed lemon or balsamic vinegar.

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

White & Fresh Green Bean Soup

2011-08-30T18:48:00.000-07:00

White & Fresh Green Bean Soup

Fresh Green Bean Ingredients :

1 1/2 cups dried white beans, Great Northern, navy, or baby lima
6 cups water
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp salt
4 cups beef broth
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp rosemary, crumbled
2 cups fresh green beans (about 3/4 lb), cut on the diagonal in 1-inch pieces
1 tbsp butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Fresh Green Bean Instructions :
Wash and pick over the dried beans. Put them into a large saucepan or kettle with the water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and allow to stand for 1 hour.

Return to the heat and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 1/2 hour. Using a heavy fork, mash the garlic with the salt until no large chunks remain. Add to the saucepan with the beans. Add the broth, pepper, and rosemary. Simmer, partially covered, until beans are tender. This can take 15 minutes or as long as 1 hour; timing for beans is hard to predict -- keep checking.

Soup can be made ahead to this point, and refrigerated or frozen after thorough cooling. Cook the green beans uncovered in 2 quarts of boiling salted water until they are tender-crisp and bright green. Drain and add to the soup when the white beans are tender but not mushy. If green beans are not to be added right away, rinse in cold water to retain color. Stir in the butter and lemon. Serve at once, while fresh green beans are still bright.
