Green Beans With Sage Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl and season with pepper. Toss to evenly incorporate. Transfer beans to a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast beans, stirring every 10 minutes, until wilted, shrunken, and browned at edges, about 1 hour. (You may need to stir more often toward end for even browning.)

GREEN BEANS WITH BLACKENED SAGE AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Heat butter and oil, then cook sage until it begins to blacken, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add beans and salt; toss to coat. Carefully add 1 cup water. Steam until beans are fork-tender and most of the water has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle hazelnuts on top and serve.

GREEN BEANS WITH MUSHROOMS AND SAGE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook beans in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
• Plunge into icewater; drain and set aside.
• In a skillet, over medium-high heat, melt butter and add olive oil.
• Saute sage 1 minute or until crisp and dark green.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add mushrooms and minced garlic to skillet; cook 2 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
• Add green beans, tossing to mix.
• Stir in broth, wine, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; cook for 5-10 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
• Stir in sage just before serving.

TUSCAN WHITE BEANS WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Saute the onion, garlic, and carrots in the olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add in the sage, cook until aromatic.
• Add the can of tomatoes, heat through.
• Add the white beans, return to a simmer, and simmer as long as you like (the longer, the yummier, honestly!).
• Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice.
• This dish holds up well to slight modifications. I have put in a stalk of celery, diced, with the onions and carrots. I have added a little dried rosemary with the white beans. All quite tasty. For omnivores, this dish is delicious with a few shrimp sauteed in butter and garlic served on top.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH GARLICKY GREEN BEANS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Toss the green beans, garlic cloves and sage leaves with ¼ cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer on a sheet pan. Rub the chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon salt. Arrange among the green beans and season with black pepper; scoot any green beans out from under the chicken. (It's okay if the green beans are clumped together.) Roast, tossing the green beans occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the green beans are dark green and wrinkled, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Stir the vinegar into the green beans and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the green beans and garlic to the platter, scraping all the pan drippings and browned bits from the pan.
• Eat the chicken with the green beans, cloves of roasted garlic and a spoonful of the pan drippings. Optionally, if you'd like the chicken's skin to be more browned, return the chicken to the sheet pan and broil until golden.

WITH SAGE AND BEANS

Steps:

• Cook coarse-chopped slab bacon in olive oil until done; add chopped garlic, sage, cooked white beans and a splash of stock. Cover and simmer until the beans are nearly falling apart. Garnish: Fried breadcrumbs.

FRESH GREEN BEANS WITH HEAVEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add sesame seeds; cook and stir until sesame seeds are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix soy sauce, mayonnaise, sriracha hot sauce, and allspice into onion mixture. Add green beans and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
