Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

Mustard Butter Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3 to 4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to an ice bath to stop cooking and lock in their color.
  2. Make the Mustard Butter Sauce: In a medium skillet, melt the plant-based butter over medium heat. Add the freshly minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the natural Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  3. Combine and Cook: Drain the green beans from the ice bath and add them to the skillet with the mustard butter sauce. Toss gently to coat the beans evenly while warming them through for 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring the sauce clings well without making the beans soggy.
  4. Final Touches: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the beans. Give them a final gentle toss, adjust the seasoning if needed, and transfer to a serving dish.

Notes

  • Use the freshest and firmest green beans for best texture and flavor.
  • Blanch green beans just until tender-crisp to retain crunch and vibrant color.
  • Taste and adjust mustard and vinegar for preferred tanginess.
  • Gently toss the beans to avoid breaking their delicate structure.
  • Choose fresh, natural ingredients to keep flavors bright and pure.
