Blanched Green Beans
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
To serve the beans right away, increase the blanching time to 5 to 6 minutes and don’t bother shocking them in ice water.
Bring 2-1⁄2 quarts water to boil in large saucepan over high heat. Add green beans and salt, return to boil, and cook until beans are bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, fill large bowl with ice water. Drain beans, then transfer immediately to ice water bath. When beans no longer feel warm to touch, drain beans again, then dry thoroughly with paper towels. Transfer beans to large zipper-lock bag and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 3 days.
