Miso Watercress Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Whisk together the melted butter, miso paste, garlic, scallion and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
• Blister the green beans: Pat the green beans dry with a paper towel. Add the canola oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the green beans and sprinkle with salt. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes on each side.
• Finish the dish: Add the miso butter mixture and turn the heat off. Using tongs, toss the beans with the sauce to coat, adding a tablespoon of water if necessary to loosen the sauce. Garnish with the crispy onions.

Steps:

• Lightly smash cucumbers with a rolling pin, then tear into bite-size pieces. Toss with a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Let sit to allow salt to penetrate.
• Meanwhile, place green beans in a large resealable plastic bag, seal, and smash with rolling pin until most of the beans are split open and bruised. Whisk ginger, chile, garlic, vinegar, miso, olive oil, and sesame oil in a medium bowl until smooth. Add dressing to beans and toss around in bag to coat; season with salt.
• Drain cucumbers and add to bag with beans. Shake gently to combine. Transfer salad to a platter and top with sesame seeds and scallions.
