John in Marblehead, MA, sautées French green beans in olive oil and our Bay Leaf Preserved Lemon. Deb, in Rosemount, MN, eats canned green beans with butter and our Cumin Garlic blend, thank you very much. Thank you very much, indeed.
Need
French green beans, sliced on a mandolin
Slivered almonds (optional)
Extra virgin olive oil
If & When Preserved Meyer Lemon Paste
Butter you love
Freshly ground white pepper
Do
Parboil beans in salted water 1-2 minutes; remove ends and slice. This captures the green.
Heat equal parts oil and butter over medium heat. Brown the almonds; reserve.
Add more oil/butter if needed. Sauté green beans 3-5 minutes (cooked, but crunchy). Return almonds to pan with beans + add 1 teaspoon If & When. Combine all ingredients and sauté for 2-3 minutes; longer for a softer bean. Add more preserved lemon to taste. Finish with pepper before serving.
