I love at least one spicy dish on my Thanksgiving and Christmas tables. The traditional menu, while delicious, screams for a bit of heat. These green beans are the perfect solution. Crisp-tender, mixed with pecans and sauteed onions, then bathed in a delicious chipotle infused butter. Quick, delicious and pretty. Happy Holidays!
Green Beans With Chipotle Butter
(Makes 10 cups)
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 canned chipotle pepper, minced
1/2-1 tsp adobo sauce (from the chipotle can) amount depends on your heat tolerance
2 lbs green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 green onions, white & green parts
1/3 cup shallots, minced
1 cup pecan pieces, toasted
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
sea salt
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chipotle, and adobo sauce until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate. (You can make the chipotle butter up to two days ahead. Store in refrigerator until ready to use)
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook green beans until vivid green and al dente. (tender with a bit of a bite). Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions and shallot and saute until light golden brown. Add the pecans and continue cooking until the onions are golden brown. Add the chipotle butter to the pan and stir until melted. Add the green beans and the teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Stir until the beans are warm.
Transfer beans to a serving platter and pour any remaining butter sauce over top. Serve.

ReplyDeleteWow! Green Beans With Chipotle Butter Dressing recipe is really something very special and unique. I would like to share it with my Assignment Writers. you just made my day. it is really different from other salads.
DeleteI don't know who's going to eat these green beans man I have never seen any dish in which you have to eat green chili. I love spicy foods but not that much spicy. My prayers are with those who are gonna eat this dish.
ReplyDeleteGet the most nutrients out of green beans by sautéing fresh instead of throwing an over-processed can of green bean cuts into a a casserole. Not only will your dish be much more nutritious but it requires fewer ingredients and is much easier to make. It's also good to make all year round, not just for Book Writers, and will soon make its way into your weekly vegetable side dish rotation.
