Green beans with hazelnuts is a delightful and nutritious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. This recipe offers a wonderful mix of crunchy hazelnuts, fresh green beans, and the aromatic flavor of scallions, all brought together with a hint of vinegar for balance.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup hazelnuts
40g
1/3 cup green beans
72g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 cup scallions
50g
1 tsp vinegar
5g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Begin by washing and trimming the green beans. If needed, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the scallions into small pieces, separating the white and green parts.
- If the hazelnuts are whole, give them a rough chop for easier distribution.
2. Toast the Hazelnuts:
- Place a dry skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the hazelnuts.
- Toast the hazelnuts, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Be careful not to burn them.
- Once toasted, remove the hazelnuts from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Cook the Green Beans:
- In the same skillet, add the green beans with enough water to cover them and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the green beans for about 3-5 minutes or until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Drain the green beans and set them aside.
4. Sauté the Scallions:
- Return the skillet to the stove and add the butter.
- Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the white parts of the scallions first, allowing them to cook for about 1-2 minutes or until they begin to soften.
- Then add the green parts of the scallions and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the cooked green beans and toasted hazelnuts back into the skillet with the scallions.
- Drizzle the mixture with 1 teaspoon of vinegar.
- Toss everything together to combine, ensuring the green beans and hazelnuts are well-coated with the buttery scallion mixture.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the green beans with hazelnuts to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately as a delightful side dish.

Tips:

- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they become fragrant and lightly browned. This will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the dish.

- Blanch the green beans before cooking them with the other ingredients. To blanch, cook the green beans in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, then transfer them immediately to ice water. This will help retain their bright green color and crisp texture.

- Use fresh scallions for the best flavor. If fresh scallions are not available, you can substitute with green onions.

- Add the vinegar gradually and taste as you go. Depending on your preference, you might want a little less or more acidity in your dish.

- For a dairy-free alternative, you can replace the butter with olive oil.

Green beans with hazelnuts is an easy-to-make, deliciously crisp, and buttery side dish that is sure to complement any meal. By following these tips, you'll create a vibrant and flavorful dish that brings out the best in each ingredient. Enjoy the nutty crunch of hazelnuts with the fresh, bright taste of green beans and scallions – it's a combination that's sure to become a favorite!
