BEER BATTERED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat a deep fryer to 300 degrees F, or in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 300 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix the tempura mix and the beer. In a separate bowl, mix the string beans, heavy cream, flour, and salt. Add the bean mixture to the tempura mixture and coat the beans well. Lift the coated beans out of the batter, allow the excess batter to drip back into the bowl, and add the beans to the fryer and fry, in batches, until light golden brown. Drain the beans on paper towels, and serve immediately.

MARINATED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Fill a pot large enough to hold the green beans with water, place over high heat, and bring to a boil.
• While the water is heating, snap off the ends of the beans and rinse them in cold water. When the water comes to a boil, salt it generously (about 1 teaspoon per quart of water) and put in the beans. Cook until they are tender all the way through but not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes.
• While the beans are cooking, sliver the olives by slicing the flesh away from the pits. Lightly crush and peel the garlic cloves, shred the basil, and coarsely chop the oregano. Put the olives, garlic, basil, oregano, and capers in the salad bowl you will be using.
• When the beans are cooked, drain them well and add them to the salad bowl. Add the vinegar and toss. Add the olive oil, toss again, and taste for salt. Let stand at room temperature for about 3 hours and remove the garlic cloves before serving.

SIMPLE AND TASTY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place green beans, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper into a resealable plastic bag; marinate for 10 minutes.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Spread green beans into a shallow baking pan; place under the broiler and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

ANNE'S AMAZING ROASTED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Toss beans with olive oil in a medium mixing bowl until well coated. Spread beans out on a rimmed baking sheet, or in a roasting pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until beans look shriveled and browned, about 20 minutes.
• Remove beans from the oven, gather into a pile, and squeeze lemon juice over the top. Toss and serve.

GREEN BEANS GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Place pine nuts in a dry sauté pan over low heat and cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
• Drain beans in a colander and immediately put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color.
• To make gremolata, toss lemon zest, parsley, parmesan, and pine nuts together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Drain beans and pat dry.
• When ready to serve, heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic and saute for 1 minute.
• Add beans to skillet and sauté, turning frequently, 2 minutes, until coated with olive oil and heated through.
• Remove beans from hot pan and transfer to a serving platter or bowl (adding the gremolata mixture directly to the hot pan will melt the parmesan and make it gooey, even if the pan is off the heat).
• Add the gremolata to the beans, and toss well.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
