Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 2 large shallots
- 100 grams walnuts
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 45 milliliters olive oil
- 15 grams butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 liters water
- 20 pieces ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 2
Trim the ends off the green beans. Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Step 3
Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Slice the shallots thinly into rings. Pat them dry with a paper towel and toss them in all-purpose flour, ensuring each ring is lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 5
Heat 30 milliliters of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the floured shallots and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, melt 15 grams of butter with the remaining 15 milliliters of olive oil over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and slightly golden.
Step 7
Add the drained green beans to the skillet with the toasted walnuts. Season with 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper and toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the beans through.
Step 8
Transfer the green beans and walnuts to a serving dish. Top with the crispy shallots and serve immediately.
