Chef Tip how to prepare green beans.
Heat 4 qt pot of water to a boil and season liberally with kosher salt. Snap ends of beans to remove stems as needed. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl with about a quart of ice and water.
Place green beans directly into boiling water and blanche for 1 minute. Remove and place directly into ice bath to shock the vegetables. This immediately stops the cooking and gives you a nice vibrant green color on your vegetable. I like to have these just in the fridge to snack on.
Once beans are blanched you can store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat add ¼-1/2 C of water and a few TB of butter in a large sauté pan. Bring to a simmer add green beans and season
With salt and pepper. Toss the green beans in water/butter mixture and cook until water has evaporated and butter has left a nice coating on beans. Remember they are already cooked, you just need to warm through.
