Ingredients: 1 or 2 cloves organic peeled fresh garlic, ¼ cup dry-roasted hazelnuts, 1 wedge preserved lemon, 4 or 5 sprigs organic fresh flat-leaf parsley, 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar, 2 teaspoons honey (optional), 1 or 2 organic shallots, 1 pound organic green beans, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
1
Make the hazelnut gremolata
- Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon.
- Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the hazelnuts.
- Remove any pulp from the preserved lemon and discard; finely chop the peel.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the champagne vinegar, garlic, 1 to 2 tablespoons oil, and 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, if using. Add the hazelnuts, preserved lemon, and parsley and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the green beans.

Prep and cook the green beans
- Peel the shallots and cut them crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Separate the slices into rings.
- Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the red wine vinegar and cook until starting to thicken, about 1 minute. Add the green beans and cook, stirring often, until the beans start to brown and are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
