INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/4 Pounds Baby Red Potatoes, with skin
- 1/2 Pound Green Beans
- 1 Tablespoon Sea Salt for the blanching water
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted Margarine
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Zest of 1/2 of a Lemon, julienned
- large bowl filled with water and ice
- Sea Salt to taste
- Ground Pepper to taste
Put the washed whole potatoes in a large pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes. The potatoes should be tender but still firm enough to not fall to pieces when cut. Strain and rinse under cold water until cool.
Cut the green beans in half and chop off the ends. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the sea salt and blanch the green beans for only 3-4 minutes. After the 3-4 minutes, remove them from the water and dump the beans into an ice bath. Swirl it around to stop the beans from cooking, then pull them out of the water and set aside.
Cut the potatoes into wedges. Heat a large pan on high heat and add the margarine and olive oil. As soon as the margarine is melted dump in the potatoes and arrange so that there is only one layer. Saute for 2-3 minutes until golden on one side. Toss the potatoes and let them fry again for another minute. Continue until most of the potatoes are completely sauted. Add in the lemon zest and saute for another minute. Add in the beans and toss again with the salt and pepper. When the beans have warmed remove from heat.
NOTES:This recipe depends on really great green beans, I would only do this with excellent green beans.
