As a housewife, I'm always looking for quick and easy recipes that can please my family and guests. This French Beans/Mange Tout With Hazelnut and Orange dish is a perfect fit. It takes just a few minutes to prepare, with minimal effort.
The combination of fresh, green beans, crispy mangetout, crunchy hazelnuts, and a tangy orange dressing is simply delightful. I love how the different flavors and textures come together to create a dish that is both refreshing and satisfying. This recipe is perfect for a light lunch, a healthy side dish, or even as a vegetarian main course.
Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Trim the stalks of the french beans and the mangetout keeping both separate. Boil water in a large pan.
- Blanch the french beans for 4 mins. Then take out and put in a dish full of ice cold water. Take the mangetout and boil 1 min. Place the mange tout in iced water too.
- While the beans are cooking, scatter the hazelnuts in a large roasting tray and roast for 10mins. Leave until cool enough to handle, then rub them in a clean tea-towel to get rid of most of the skin. Chop the nuts up roughly.
- Make the dressing and mix all the ingredients. I used a zester for the orange. Place the french beans and mangetout in a large serving bowl and mix in the dressing.
- Serve at room temperature.
