Green Beans with Ginger and Cashews

This vibrant side dish of green beans with ginger and cashews brings a fresh, aromatic lift to any meal. By blanching the beans first and then finishing them in a savoury reduction of stock and butter, you achieve a perfect crisp-tender texture and a deep, glossy glaze. The addition of fresh ginger provides a subtle heat that cuts through the richness of the butter, making it a sophisticated alternative to standard vegetable sides.

Ideal as a vegetarian accompaniment to a Sunday roast or a midweek stir-fry, this recipe is as versatile as it is nutritious. The salted cashews add a satisfying crunch and a boost of protein, while the ability to prep the beans a day in advance makes it a stress-free option for entertaining guests. Serve it alongside roasted poultry or a nut roast for a balanced, flavourful plate.

How to make Green Beans with Ginger and Cashews

In large pot boiling salted water , cook beans until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in colander and rinse well under cold running water. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels. (Green beans can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated, wrapped in paper towels, in zippered plastic bags.)

In 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, heat butter until hot but not smoking. Add ginger and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in green beans and stock and cook, stirring often, until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 3 to 6 minutes. Add cashews and sauté 1 minute. Stir in salt and pepper. (Green beans can be made up to 30 minutes before serving. Let stand in skillet, uncovered. Reheat over high heat, stirring often, about 2 minutes.) Transfer to serving dish and serve immediately.
