MY AUNT'S GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Fill a bowl with ice water. Cook the green beans in salted boiling water until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes, then drain and chill in the ice water to stop the cooking. Remove from the ice water and pat dry.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the hazelnut oil, vinegar and honey, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the green beans to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and top with the toasted nuts and lemon zest.

SLOW-COOKED COUNTRY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Add the oil in a medium, heavy saucepan. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add the ham hocks, garlic, and beans. Add enough water to almost completely cover the beans. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and serve with the cooking liquid.

SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place ham, onion, and dried pepper, if using, in a medium saucepan; add the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and reduce to a gentle simmer; cover, and cook 2 hours.
• Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer ham and onion to a plate, and set aside; discard dried pepper. Return liquid to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to 2 cups, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, shred any meat from the ham hock with a fork, and return to saucepan. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Reduce heat to medium; add green beans, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve hot.
