Instructions

Creating Brown Butter Green Beans with Hazelnut Dukkah is easy if you follow these steps:

  1. Prep the Beans: Begin by trimming the ends of the green beans. Rinse them under cold water and set them aside.
  2. Toast Hazelnuts: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the hazelnuts until golden brown, stirring frequently. Once done, chop them coarsely and set aside.
  3. Make Dukkah Mixture: In the same skillet, add sesame seeds, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Toast for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then combine with the chopped hazelnuts. Set this mixture aside.
  4. Brown the Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until it begins to turn golden brown and develop a nutty aroma, stirring frequently (about 5-6 minutes).
  5. Cook Green Beans: Add the trimmed green beans to the pan with the brown butter. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  6. Add Lemon: Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the green beans and add the zest. Mix well to combine flavors.
  7. Top with Dukkah: Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the hazelnut dukkah mixture generously on top of the green beans, tossing gently to coat.
  8. Serve Immediately: Transfer the green beans to a serving platter, ensuring the dukkah is evenly distributed.
