Green Beans
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
I got this recipe whilst working in Hammersmith as ‘Acting Head Chef’, with a very moody ‘Sous Chef’ at Chez Kristof. When I was in Dubai, the local meat suppliers used to bring us grade 4/5 Wagyu whole beef Sirloin, free of charge as samples. I used to make gratin dauphinois and these green beans, and my business partner Paul Gidley wanted the recipe. Here you go “The Paul”, if you buy the book that will follow.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 200 g French beans, tops cut off
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic peeled & diced
- 1/2 lemon juiced & zested
- Handful chopped parsley
- Handful breadcrumbs
Method
1 Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the beans until al dente, strain in a colander.
2 In the same pan on a low heat, melt the butter and diced garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes until the garlic is soft.
3 Turn the heat up to high add the green beans. Then add the zest and juice of the lemon, and a handful of chopped parsley.
4 Take off the heat and add a handful of dried breadcrumbs.
