Fricassee Of Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a large pinch of salt, and the Romano and wax beans. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the haricot verts, and cook until the beans are tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drain, and transfer to the ice bath to stop cooking. Drain well; set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add stock, and cook until reduced by half. Add the beans, garlic, and butter. Cook until beans are lightly glazed. Add tomato, basil, parsley, lemon, olives, and almonds, and heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Steps:

• Cook the beans in boiling water for 10 minutes, drain then add parsley, butter, garlic and salt, simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the beaten egg yolk, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Heat oil in large high-sided, oven-proof skillet over medium heat Add sliced onion, bell peppers, asparagus, and carrots and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until crisp-tender. Stir in tarragon and vermouth cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add spinach (or dandelion greens) and milk and sour cream and simmer 2 minutes. Add more milk, if needed, to make sure the vegetables are submerged. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Place pan under broiler and broil until golden brown. Serve mixture over rice.
• Chef's Note: You can clean and cut all vegetables and reserve in refrigerator, to be used when cooking fricassee.

Steps:

• Render the bacon over low heat. When bacon is lightly crisp, strain through a chinois. In a small saucepan, sweat the onions and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peas, bacon and garlic puree. If the mixture is dry, you may add a few drops of water. Season to taste.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add next 6 ingredients; sauté 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook until vegetables are almost tender, stirring often, about 15 minutes.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add flour; whisk 1 minute. Gradually add broth; bring to boil, whisking until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Add vegetables to skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf.

Steps:

• In a large Dutch Oven, heat the olive oil till smoking and in it brown the pieces of lamb (you may have to do this in 2-3 batches) until golden-brown all over.
• When all the pieces are browned add onion, garlic, water and wine (you could use just water if you wanted to), salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is very tender.
• Add lettuce and dill. You may have to cram it into the pot but it will reduce to practically nothing. Put the lid on the Dutch Oven and cook for 8 minutes. Remove lid, stir carefully not to break up meat and cook another 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
• In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk together eggs, cornstarch, lemon juice and a little salt and pepper to taste (remember, there is more in the pot).
• With a ladle, remove ladlefuls of the cooking liquid the meat and lettuce have cooked in and VERY slowly whisk it into the egg/lemon mixture. Keep doing this until, whisking all the while, until you have incorporated most of your cooking liquid - this tempers the egg-lemon sauce so it won't curdle when added to your lamb.
• Pour all the sauce into the pot, covering the lamb and lettuce. Turn heat up to medium-high and just bring to the boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Dinner is ready. Have lots of crusty bread around to sop up the delicious avgolemono sauce.

Steps:

• Cook fresh fava beans in large pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes. Drain favas. Place in large bowl of ice water. Drain. Slip outer skin off each bean and discard skin; place beans in large bowl. (If using frozen beans, do not blanch.)
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add beef and sauté just until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer beef to medium bowl.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Add fava beans; sauté 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cool 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk whipping cream, lemon juice, egg yolks, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Stir cream mixture into fava bean mixture. Cook over medium-low heat just until sauce thickens slightly and mixture is heated through, about 6 minutes (do not boil). Add beef and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer fricassee to rimmed platter. Sprinkle with mint.
