Instructions

1
|
In a large dry skillet, cook the pine nuts over medium heat until they are toasted and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Spoon the pine nuts into a bowl and set aside. Return the pan to the stove.
2
|
Place green beans in the skillet. Add the water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the green beans are slightly tender but still crisp.**
3
|
Remove the lid from the pan and stir until the water is evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.** Then, make a well in the center of the pan and add the olive oil and butter until it is melted.
4
|
Add the shallots to the olive oil-butter mixture and sauté until the shallots are soft and starting to brown on the edges, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir the green beans with the shallot-garlic mixture.
5
|
Remove the pan from the heat (at this point, the green beans should be crisp-tender). Add the red pepper flakes, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss, taste, and add additional seasonings if desired.
6
|
Spoon the green beans onto a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts.*** Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pine Nut Perfection 🥜
    Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, constantly stirring to prevent burning and enhance their nutty flavor. Remove from heat immediately when they turn golden brown and fragrant.
  • Green Bean Blanching Technique 💦
    Blanch green beans in heavily salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately shock in ice water to preserve their vibrant green color and crisp-tender texture.
  • Garlic Timing Magic 🧄
    Add minced garlic in the last 30 seconds of cooking to prevent burning and maintain its sweet, aromatic flavor without becoming bitter or acrid.
  • Lemon Zest Maximization 🍋
    Use a microplane grater to create fine, delicate lemon zest that distributes more evenly and releases maximum citrusy oils throughout the dish.
  • Seasoning Layer Technique 🧂
    Season green beans in stages - salt the blanching water, then add a pinch of kosher salt when sautéing, and finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt for depth of flavor.
