ROASTED HARICOTS VERTS

HARICOT VERTS WITH GRAINY-MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together mustards and the vinegar. Whisking constantly, add the oil in a steady stream; continue whisking until mixture is smooth and emulsified.
• Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add beans, and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; drain. Transfer beans to an ice bath to stop cooking; drain well.
• Toss beans with onion and vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

HERB-ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH HARICOTS VERTS, SPRING ONIONS, AND MUSTARD BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Whisk together the mustard, thyme leaves, parsley, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a shallow baking dish. Stir in the garlic, and slather the pork with this mustard mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Take the pork out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking, to bring it to room temperature. After 30 minutes, season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Reserve the marinade.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 3 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and wait a minute or two, until the pan is very hot, almost smoking. Place the pork loin in the pan, and sear it on all sides until well browned and caramelized. Don't turn or move the pork too quickly or all the mustard will be left in the pan and not on the pork. Be patient; this searing process takes 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the pork loin to a roasting rack, and slather the reserved marinade over the meat. Reserve the pan. Arrange the rosemary, sage, and thyme sprigs on the roast and top with 3 tablespoons butter.
• Roast the pork until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 120°F, about 1 1/4 hours. Let the pork rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• While the pork is roasting, return the pork-searing pan to the stove over medium-high heat. Wait 1 to 2 minutes and then deglaze it with the chicken stock or water. Bring to a boil, whisking and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the crispy bits. Swirl in 3 tablespoons butter and set aside.
• Arrange the haricots verts and spring onions on a large warm platter. Slice the pork thinly, about 1/4-inch thick, and fan the meat over the beans. Add the buttery pork juices and herbs to the sauce, bring it to a boil, and then spoon it over the pork. Shower the mustard breadcrumbs over the top.
• Haricots Verts and Spring Onions
• Blanch the haricots verts in a large pot of salted boiling water 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still al dente.
• Cut the spring onions 1 inch above the bulb, leaving some green top still attached. Trim the roots, but leave the root end intact (this will keep the onions in wedges, rather than slices). Cut the onions lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick wedges.
• Heat two pans over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. (In order to get nice color on the onions and preserve their beautiful shape, it's best to cook them in two large pans so they are not crowded.) Swirl 2 tablespoons olive oil into each pan, and gently place the onions in the pans, cut side down. Season with the thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook the onion wedges 2 to 3 minutes, until they start to brown slightly. Turn the onions, using tongs, and add the haricots verts. Season each pan with 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring to combine. Add the butter and sage leaves and cook a few more minutes, tossing to glaze the vegetables in the butter and let the sage perfume them. Taste for seasoning.
• Mustard Breadcrumbs
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Place the breadcrumbs in a medium bowl. Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the butter, and when it foams, whisk in the mustard, thyme, and parsley. Remove from the heat, let cool a few minutes, and then pour the mustard butter over the breadcrumbs, tossing to coat them well. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a baking sheet, and toast them 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until they're golden brown and crispy.
• Note
• Marinate the pork the day before serving. You can blanch the haricots verts and cut the spring onions ahead of time, but cook them while the pork is resting. The mustard breadcrumbs can be made a few hours ahead of time.

HARICOTS VERTS

Steps:

• Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. Bring a 4-quart pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the haricots verts and blanch until vibrant, about 5 minutes.
• Drain in a colander, then submerge in the bowl of ice water. Drain and arrange in a serving bowl. Add salt and lemon juice, toss, and serve family style.

HARICOT VERT ( FRENCH GREEN BEANS) WITH BACON AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Blanch Haricot verts.
• Fry bacon with onion until crispy and onions are caramelized.
• Add bacon and onions to the blanched beans.
• Add vinegar and sugar mix well and serve.

HARICOTS VERTS WITH WALNUTS AND WALNUT OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts in a small baking dish. Bake until you can hear the walnuts sizzling or smell them when you open the oven door, about 5 minutes. (Set your timer!) Remove from the oven and coarsely chop. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water, seasoned with sea salt so that it tastes like ocean water, to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until they are just tender but still firm, about 4 minutes. (Don't overcook: they will continue to cook out of the water.) Drain, then spread out on a clean kitchen towel to soak up the excess water.
• Gather the beans while hot and toss in a bowl with the warm walnuts and the walnut oil. Season generously to taste with pepper and perhaps a little more salt. Serve now or later. (They're lovely after a few hours too.)

HARICOTS VERTS WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Put the butter in a small saute pan set over low heat.
• Add the garlic and shallots.
• Saute for 2-3 min, until just softened.
• Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil.
• Add a Tbs of kosher salt.
• Drop in the beans.
• Cook until they are tender but not mushy, from 60 seconds for the tiniest green beans to as long as 5 min for the larger ones.
• Taste frequently during cooking so that they are not overcooked.
• Drain and transfer to a serving dish.
• Add the shallot butter and sliced basil.
• Toss gently.
• Taste, season with salt and pepper if needed.
• Serve.

HARICOTS VERTS AND SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Blanch the haricots verts in a large pot of salted boiling water 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still al dente.
• Cut the spring onions 1 inch above the bulb, leaving some green top still attached. Trim the roots, but leave the root end intact (this will keep the onions in wedges, rather than slices). Cut the onions lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick wedges.
• Heat two pans over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. (In order to get nice color on the onions and preserve their beautiful shape, it's best to cook them in two large pans so they are not crowded.) Swirl 2 tablespoons olive oil into each pan, and gently place the onions in the pans, cut side down. Season with the thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook the onion wedges 2 to 3 minutes, until they start to brown slightly. Turn the onions, using tongs, and add the haricots verts. Season each pan with 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring to combine. Add the butter and sage leaves and cook a few more minutes, tossing to glaze the vegetables in the butter and let the sage perfume them. Taste for seasoning.
