Green Beans with Walnuts and Shallot Crisps Recipe
Green Beans with Walnuts and Shallot Crisps
Ingredients
Shallot Crisps
- 5 large shallots 1/2 lb, peeled and sliced into thin rings
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Green Beans
- 2 pounds green beans trimmed
Vinaigrette
- 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
Walnuts
- 1 cup toasted chopped walnuts 1/2 lb.
Instructions
Make the Shallot Crisps
- Spread shallot rings on paper towel, sprinkle with salt.
- Cover with another paper towel.
- Let stand 10 minutes.
- Blot excess moisture from shallots.
- Heat oil in small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add shallots, and fry, stirring frequently, 2-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Pour shallots and oil through a fine mesh strainer or remove shallots with a slotted spoon.
- Spread shallots on paper towels to drain and cool.
Cook the Green Beans
Trim the beans, cut to about 1-2 inch long pieces, and steam in a vegetable steamer for about 5 minutes until crisp tender.
My trick is to put the beans in the top of the steamer pot, bring it to a boil, and turn it off, leaving it on the burner until ready to eat. They are usually perfectly tender when you are ready to put everything together.
Toast the Walnuts
Place the walnuts in a dry pan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until slightly crisp. Or, simply broil them in your toaster oven for the length of time you would toast a piece of toast.
Watch carefully. They burn easily.
Set aside.
Make the Vinaigrette
Whisk the vinegar, mustard, maple syrup and oil until emulsified.
Put it Together
Toss the steamed green beans with the shallot crisps and vinaigrette.
Top with toasted walnuts and serve.
