Sautéed Green Beans with Crispy Shallots and Toasted Hazelnuts ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 0.5 cup hazelnuts, whole, shelled
  • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced into rings
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper

How to make Sautéed Green Beans with Crispy Shallots and Toasted Hazelnuts

  1. To toast the hazelnuts, place 1/2 cup whole shelled hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then roughly chop.
  2. Prepare the crispy shallots: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 large thinly sliced shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until deeply golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn them. Remove shallots with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet (add more olive oil if needed to total 2 tablespoons fat). Increase heat to medium-high.
  4. Add 1.5 pounds of trimmed fresh green beans to the hot skillet. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are bright green, tender-crisp, and slightly charred in spots.
  5. Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet with the green beans and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat the green beans evenly.
  7. Transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Garnish generously with the crispy shallots and toasted chopped hazelnuts just before serving to maintain their texture.
