Green Beans with Caramelized Pecans

Ingredients for Green Beans with Caramelized Pecans

• 120ml pecan halves and pieces (60g)

• 1.1kg green beans, trimmed

• 5 cucchiai di burro non salato

• 80g shallot, finely chopped (about 2 medium)

• 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

• 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Preriscalda il forno a 177°C con la griglia al centro.

Spread out pecans on a rimmed sheet pan and bake in oven until pale golden on inside, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop.

Have ready a colander submerged in a large bowl of ice water. Cook beans in a 6- to 8-quart pot of well-salted boiling water, uncovered, until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a large slotted spoon and/or tongs, transfer beans to colander in ice water to stop cooking, then drain well and dry on towels.

Heat butter in a 12- to 14-inch deep heavy skillet (preferably straight-sided) over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add shallot and cook, stirring until pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium and stir in sugar until almost dissolved, then cook pecans, stirring, 1 minute.

Add green beans, kosher salt, and pepper, and sauté beans, turning them with tongs, until heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve.
