Green Beans (Haricots Verts)With Roasted Pecan Dressing

 

Recipe By :Potluck at Midnight Farm by Tamara Weiss (2002)

Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Green Beans

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon coarse salt

2 pounds green beans -- topped and tailed

1/2 cup pecans -- roasted (see note)

1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley -- coarsely chopped

1/2 cup cilantro -- coarsely chopped

3 cloves garlic -- peeled and minced

4 lemons -- juice of

Garnish:

5 tablespoons pink peppercorns -- crushed

 

Fill a large saucepan with water, salt it, and bring to a boil. Add the green

beans, cooking until bright green and tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

 

Drain the green beans and rinse them in cold water. Place in your serving dish.

 

Put the roasted pecans, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and lemon juice in a food

processor and mix until all ingredients are well combined (it will be thick). If

you like, you can make the dressing thinner by adding 2 or 3 tablespoons of

water.

 

Spoon the dressing out of the processor and onto the green beans, then toss

together. Sprinkle with the pink peppercorns and serve at room temperature, or,

on a hot summer's day, refrigerate for an hour or more and serve chilled. Serves

10.

 

Note: To pan-roast pecans (or any nut), place them in a big skillet over medium

heat, shaking the pan and stirring until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant.

Transfer the nuts to a bowl or plate and let them cool.
