Ingredients

String Beans

  • 1 pound fresh string beans, trimmed

Basil Glaze

  • 1/4 cup Bartenura Olive Oil

  • 1/4 cup vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon mustard

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Make the Green Beans

1.

Whisk all glaze ingredients together.

2.

Bring six cups water to a rapid boil in an eight-quart pot. Once water is boiling, add string beans and cover pot. Cook for six minutes. After six minutes, throw string beans into a bowl of ice water (or a strainer with running cold water).

3.

Combine string beans with half of glaze (reserve the other half to use as a salad dressing). Let beans marinate so that the flavors meld. Serve at room temperature.

Notes:

Blanching preserves the great flavor of fresh string beans, holds the beautiful green color, and still gives you that wonderful string-bean crunch. Throw the beans in hot water to cook them briefly; then plunge them into cold water to “shock” them and stop the cooking process.
