Haricots Verts And Freekeh With Minty Tahini Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Cook freekeh in a large saucepan of salted simmering water until al dente, 12-15 minutes for cracked and 30-35 for uncracked. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook haricots verts in a small pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain, then pat dry.
• Whisk garlic, lemon juice, oil, tahini, mint, maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon water in a large bowl; season with salt. Add freekeh and haricots verts and toss gently to coat; season with salt.
• Serve freekeh and haricots verts topped with walnuts, cilantro, dill, parsley, and Aleppo pepper.
• Do ahead: Freekeh and haricots verts can be cooked 2 days ahead. Cover and chill separately.

Steps:

• Stir freekeh in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Cover pan and cook until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer freekeh to a bowl to cool.
• Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, tahini, and honey together in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add pomegranate seeds, onion, mint, and parsley to the bowl with the cooked freekeh. Drizzle in the dressing and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Top with pistachios right before serving so they don't soften.

Steps:

• Place the haricots verts in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain, if necessary. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and lemon juice. Pour over the haricots verts and toss to coat.
• Serve immediately with shaved parmesan and freshly ground pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the string beans and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and then place the string beans in a serving dish.
• For the herb butter, placed the scallion, dill, parsley, butter, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a small bowl and combine.
• Scoop a generous tablespoon of the herb butter and place it on top of the string beans. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.
• Use any extra herb butter for serving on a steak or in a sandwich.
