This recipe is perfect for adding a bit of zest and texture to your meal, making it an excellent choice for weeknight dinners or holiday feasts.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Tear the white bread into smaller pieces and place them into a food processor. Pulse until the bread forms coarse crumbs.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bread crumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon zest and chopped parsley. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the pangrattato (bread crumb mixture) to a bowl and set aside.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt.
- Add the green beans and cook until tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
- Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain their bright green color. Drain again.
- In the same skillet used for toasting the bread crumbs, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the green beans and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are warmed through.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle the pangrattato over the green beans. Toss to combine and ensure the green beans are well-coated with the flavored bread crumbs.
- Transfer the green beans with pangrattato to a serving dish. Enjoy immediately while warm.
Tips:
- Use day-old bread for the pangrattato to get the best crunch.
- Blanch the green beans in advance and quickly immerse them in an ice bath to retain their vibrant color and prevent overcooking.
- Feel free to add a pinch of chili flakes to the pangrattato if you prefer a bit of heat.
- Make sure to finely chop the garlic and parsley to distribute their flavors evenly.
Green beans with pangrattato is a simple yet flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. The combination of crispy pangrattato and tender green beans, enhanced with garlic and lemon zest, makes it a standout side that pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses.
