Blistered Green Beans with Preserved Lemon and Parsley [Vegan]
Ingredients You Need for Blistered Green Beans with Preserved Lemon and Parsley [Vegan]
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons
- 1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed, trimmed & patted completely dry
- 3 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons preserved lemon, cut into thin slivers about 1-in long
- 1/4 cup loosely packed Italian parsley, stems removed & roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/6 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
How to Prepare Blistered Green Beans with Preserved Lemon and Parsley [Vegan]
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until simmering. Add the dry green beans into the oil and cook about 5-6 minutes until browned on one side. The dryer the beans are, the less the oil will spatter from the water.
- Using tongs, turn the beans carefully and spread them evenly across the skillet so they brown on both sides. Continue to cook another 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally to prevent burning and ensure they’re browned evenly. In the last minute, add the preserved lemon, slivered almonds, salt and pepper.
- Toss to coat and cook for another minute. Turn heat off. Let sit in the hot pan on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes.
- While the beans sit, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, the lemon juice and parsley in a small bowl. Whisk together with a fork until well combined. Set aside until ready to use.
- To serve, arrange the green beans onto a serving dish. Pour the lemon/parsley mixture overtop. Garnish with a crumbling of vegan feta.
