Ingredients:
- we prefer the mild flavor of regular olive oil in this sauce compared to the stronger flavor of extra-virgin olive oil. don''tsp worry about patting the beans dry with towels before tossing them with the sauce; any water that clings to the beans helps to thin out the sauce. this sauce is also good served with crudites or alongside grilled or roasted meat, chicken, or fish.
- 1 scallion , sliced thin
Directions:
- 1. Toast the walnuts in a small, heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes; set aside. Add the garlic to the empty skillet and toast over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant and the color of the cloves deepens slightly, about 7 minutes. Let the garlic cool slightly, then peel and chop.
- 2. Process the walnuts, garlic, cilantro, oil, lemon juice, scallion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a food processor, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, until smooth, about 1 minute. Add more salt and pepper to taste. (The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.)
- 3. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over high heat. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water; set aside. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the green beans to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the beans, transfer to the ice water, and let sit until chilled, about 2 minutes.
- 4. Drain the beans well, transfer to a serving bowl, and toss with the cilantro sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve. (The dressed beans can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours.)
