Ingredients
Salt
1 pound fresh green beans, snipped and cleaned
1 teaspoon grapeseed oil
1/4 cup julienned shallots
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/3 cup fresh orange juice, plus 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
Directions
- Fill a large saucepan with 1 gallon water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Set a large bowl filled with ice water on the counter.
- Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until very al dente and still bright green, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Drain the green beans and transfer them to the ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Allow the beans to cool for 1 minute, then drain again and set aside.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the grapeseed oil and the shallots and cook for 30 seconds, then add the green beans, almonds, orange juice and mustard.
- Continue to cook until the beans are warmed through but still bright green and slightly al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the orange zest and parsley and serve right away.
