We know it’s been a minute, but this week, Molly is coming back with a bang: she’s teaching us how to make (drumroll please)…. GREEN BEANS!
No, but seriously, this recipe is, as Molly puts it, a “sneaky hit”. She takes a very simple and oft overlooked veggie and turns it into something majestic . Molly teaches us how to blanch, which we learn is reallyyyyy just a fancy way of boiling. Blanching ensures the green beans stay the brightest green possible, before being smothered in toasted pistachios, parm, lemon zest, and, of course: garlic.
We promise you, these green beans are far from the limp, lukewarm, and mushy ones you remember from your childhood or Thanksgiving. And they’re delish year-round. We promise they are worth a shot.
Ingredients:
PRODUCE:
1 1/2 lbs green beans, wax beans, or romano beans
1 small garlic clove
2 lemons
DAIRY:
1 1/2 oz grated parmesean cheese
PANTRY:
Kosher Salt
3/4 cup roasted + salted pistachios
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper

I've made this recipe countless times since I bought Cook This Book. They're truly the greatest green beans ever!

Ya wanna talk beans, Molly? Try the beans from Manassero Farms in Irvine if you haven't already. So incredibly tasty they didn't need help, just lightly steamed and then butter, salt & pepper. Flavour beyond imagining. Also great strawberries.

If we have a nut allergy, what could we substitute for pistachios? Toasted sesame seeds? Roasted crunched chickpeas?

@TheChristinahere 2 ай бұрын

If you watch Carla's vids she always says Spin It! Meaning whatever works for you. I understand pine nuts are a seed, not a nut, so that might be a nice option.

I am not allergic to all nuts but i'm deathly allergic to pistachios, so i used almonds and it was amazing! but i think sunflower seeds would be a great nut free choice.

Molly I love you and this recipe, but in this economy I can't afford to use 1 cup and 1/2 of salt for a single recipe. Just saying. But I am def going to try to make these as beans come into season here in Arizona

@m.theresa1385 2 ай бұрын

It’s kosher salt not regular table salt . Kosher salt comes in huge packages and is less ‘salty’ so 1 1/2 cups isn’t the same. Anyways, I’m using less salt since we’re on low salt diets here. It’ll work almost the same, just less salty

@maetaylor5677 2 ай бұрын

Kosher salt is about $13 for a box that size .@@m.theresa1385

@jzakibe 2 ай бұрын

The green beans cost more than the salt. Also the pistachios. If that’s okay, why is the salt the issue? So stop it with “in this economy.”

This recipe sounds good. I’m sure that amount of salt seasons the green beans well but I can’t justify 1.5 cups of diamond crystal kosher salt, for a 2 min blanch. That stuff is not cheap. Seems a bit wasteful (for a home cook) I always blanch and shock green beans, with lesser water and far less salt, maybe they’re not as well seasoned as this but they’re still pretty good. That’s just me, different people got different ways.

@kaiju_k5042 2 ай бұрын

Curious if you can re-use the water, it is a lot but I keep seeing this ration on the net and I've never tried it before I will next time I'm making beans. Just read this on BonA "Third, salt the water. No, really salt the water; it should be saltier than pasta water. Think of the blanch water as a brine. You want about 1½ cups of kosher salt per gallon of water. Okay, I know what you're thinking…but trust me on this one. The high salt-to-water ratio actually prevents the vegetables' natural sugars and salts from leaching into the blanching water. That means more flavor will be locked into the vegetables after they’re cooked." pretty interesting.

@thisrowboat 2 ай бұрын

I like to keep other/cheaper more saltier salt on hand for blanching only, for this reason. Uses far less salt for blanching while still achieving the same level of saltiness.

Absolutely 💯 you do not need to waste that much salt in the blanching water. 😢 pouring 1 and a 1/2 cups of salt down the drain. Good lord folks. To achieve the same result - steam them in the microwave- and salt them to taste.

Hey Molly, awesome recipe! But is 4 min of cooking enough to get rid of the beans' poison which is a protein called Phasin? I only found recipes that said you should cook your beans minimum 10min. Did you every had a belly ache from too raw beans?

Green beans contain a toxic protein compound called phasin. I‘ve learned that you have to cook the beans for at least 10 minutes. Is this no longer true?

@janeflannery8757 2 ай бұрын

hence not blanching but cooked al dente. that whole schmeals just to lightly cook your beans in the end, strange. Vinegrette looks quite nice however, not crazy about the powdered parmesan, but try it and see perhaps (or just shave over as a last gest).
