Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 60 grams hazelnuts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Set aside.
Step 2
Chop the hazelnuts roughly and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place the beans in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently as it foams, turns golden brown, and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the butter.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic clove to the browned butter and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the browned butter. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Stir in the toasted hazelnuts and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the green beans with lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately as a side dish.
