Balsamic Parmesan Green Beans Recipes

BALSAMIC-ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Combine green beans, shallots, oil, salt and pepper on the prepared pan; toss to coat well. Roast until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drizzle evenly with vinegar; sprinkle with Parmesan.

BALSAMIC GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place green beans in microwave safe dish with the butter. Cover and cook on high for five minutes.
• Add vinegar and parmesan cheese. Cook on high five more minutes (covered).
• Stir to make sure the beans are well coated with the vinegar mixture.
• Serve and enjoy!
• These would work well with fresh green beans too. You would just need to adjust the cooking time.
• Ingredient amounts can be adjusted to suit your taste. I will sometimes increase the parmesan cheese and use 2 tablespoons of butter.

BALSAMIC-PARMESAN GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Steam green beans until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain. Meanwhile, mix bouillon and water; stir to blend. Heat small heavy-bottomed skillet (I use cast iron). Pour in bouillon mixture, Balsamic, and garlic salt. Blend. When bubbling, add green beans and cook until liquid is absorbed and beans have a nice nut brown glaze, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.

GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH BASIL, BALSAMIC, AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Soak chopped onions in water: Place the chopped onions in a small bowl of water. This will help take the edge off the onions. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (2 Tbsp salt for 2 quarts of water). Add the green beans to the water and blanch only for about 2 minutes or so, until the beans are just barely cooked through, but still crisp.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (2 Tbsp salt for 2 quarts of water). Add the green beans to the water and blanch only for about 2 minutes or so, until the beans are just barely cooked through, but still crisp. Fresh young beans should cook quickly. Older, tougher beans may take longer. While the beans are cooking, prepare a large bowl of ice water. When the beans are ready, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the boiling water to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the green beans and the red onions.
• Toss with red onion, balsamic, Parmesan: Place the green beans, red onion, and chopped basil in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the olive oil, toss to coat. Sprinkle in the balsamic and Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Chill until ready to serve. Overlap the cucumber and tomato on the side of each plate, sprinkle over the crispy fried onions.
