Ingredients
Instructions
Pan – Fried Shallots:
Can make ahead: Place shallots in a medium sized bowl. Separate into rings with your fingertips. Add rice flour, mix in. Heat the oil in a skillet, set to medium-high heat.
Add the coated shallots and stir up in the oil. Let crisp and brown, stirring from time to time. Remove golden brown crisped shallots to a plate with tongs.
Do not let the shallots get too dark, they will be bitter.
Sauté Beans:Add 2 teaspoons of neutral oil to a large cast iron skillet (or heavy skillet) – raise heat to high. When hot, add all the beans and stir up, Leave to blacken – do not stir.
When the edges have blackened, about 2 minutes – stir and lower heat to LOW.
Sauté for 3 – 5 more minutes until the beans are tender, cooked through, yet still bright green.
Add the sliced purple radishes, stir in and cook for 2 minutes to soften slightly.(Radishes will turn a magenta color.)
Stir together the Glaze:In a small bowl, add the miso, lemon juice and maple syrup.
Add to the pan with beans and radishes and toss to coat for one minute on low heat.
Immediately add to a serving platter.
* Purple radish is a long variety that can grow up to 8 to 10 inches long, but is most often harvested at 6 inches long. The root vegetable has a plump appearance with a purple-hued skin.
If Reheating:
Reheat in a skillet, just tossing to warm through – or microwave on 50% power until warmed.
Haricot Vert Beans are longer and thinner than American green bean varieties – they’re also more tender (a younger bean) and flavorful than comparably sized traditional green beans.
2 Fabulous recipes to try!
** with concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed.”

Haricot Vert Beans are also labeled “French Green Beans.”
I am going to buy mine on Tuesday from Whole Foods. They are available
at Trader Joe’s now – $ 2.69 for a 12 ounce package. I have seen them at other supermarkets
like Stop N Shop – they bring in fancier produce at the holidays!
