String beans are available all year round in stores. You can see a variety of green string beans from fresh to canned. In summer, you can buy it fresh. It is sold frozen throughout the year. You can find canned. Green beans are a nutritious product and can be, as an independent dish, so become a complement to any other.
In view of the fact that this type of bean is not so popular yet, it is important to learn how to cook it correctly and pleased with its taste.
As you know, any type of bean is somewhat toxic and simply must undergo heat treatment so that toxic substances are destroyed in it (in a string bean it is pheasin). It is for this reason that fresh green beans must first be boiled.
First, the string beans are sorted, cleaned from twigs and washed thoroughly under running water. To do this, the selected pods can be folded into a colander or a deep bowl. Stir the pods during washing to wash away all dirt and sticky leaves or other debris.
It is also very advisable to soak the pods in water (only cold) for several hours before the cooking process.
Drain the water and leave them in the colander for another minute, so that the glass is excess water or dry with a paper towel.
Cut the ends of the beans on both sides with a knife. There are bean varieties that have fibers on top of the cusps. To remove them, first break the pod from the tip that was attached to the plant and pull down along the entire length of the pod.
It is necessary to lay the prepared vegetable only in salted and already boiled water.
Depending on the degree of maturity of the beans, the time of its preparation varies from five (if the pods are young) to seven minutes. It is impossible to digest it, because the beans will become unpleasant in taste and will become stiff-fibrous.
The readiness of the beans is indicated by the fact that the pods stop crackling, while remaining solid. For inexperienced housewives, the method of determining readiness will be a light pricking of the pod on the fork.
After that, the product reclines in a colander and allow to drain water and cool completely.
To make the pods crunch. Immediately after draining the water in which they were boiled, they are placed under a stream of cold water from the tap.
It can be placed in an ice container (the process of further heat treatment is abruptly stopped, and a bright attractive green color of the product is preserved. By the way, a few drops of lemon juice can be added to the water during cooking).
For cooking, it is preferable to choose young beans, which are very easy to distinguish from the old: mature pods are stiff and darker in color. Young, not overripe beans are characterized by a soft yellow or pale green hue. It is worth remembering that overripe pods will not taste delicate and will acquire fibrousity.
Do not buy stained pods, which may indicate spoilage.
Prepare the bean pods as described above. Place the prepared beans in a pan suitable for cooking in the microwave with 2 tablespoons of water.
Put in the microwave and turn it on at full power for 3 to 7 minutes. Depends on the amount of beans, the shape of the cut and the power of the microwave.
Shuffle and turn it on for the same time. Or by turning down the power, set the cooking time from 8 to 12 minutes.
In a double boiler you can cook whole pods or chopped. Put the beans in a bowl and turn on the double boiler. Beans in a double boiler are cooked from 18 to 15 minutes. Depends on the type of double boiler and the amount of beans.
In winter, frozen string beans become the most relevant. It can be purchased both in the store and frozen on its own, like other types of fruits or berries.
Unfortunately, but the method of preparing frozen green beans, which is indicated on most packages, often does not lead to a positive result, giving the healthy vitaminized product a non aesthetic appearance.
To cook a deliciously frozen green bean, take note of the instructions of experienced housewives, which are as follows:
Like fresh green beans, boiled frozen is thrown into a colander and put for 10 minutes under cold water.
After draining excess water, it is ready for further use for cooking a variety of dishes.
If the beans after full readiness were left for some time at room temperature, then they will have to be heated in a saucepan or pan with the addition of butter (vegetable) oil.
For lovers of crisp, you can find many recipes on how to fry green beans. True, some of them for some reason do not take into account the necessary heat treatment.
That is why any recipe that does not indicate the stage of preliminary cooking can be attributed to incorrect and even harmful.
Before frying beans, it must be boiled until half ready in salted water. Rinse with cold water and dry.
Pods can be cut portionwise both before and after cooking.
You need to put beans in the pan only when the pan is completely warmed up and the oil starts to “sizzle”.
If you want to cook green beans in egg batter, but this will require patience and more time.
True, it is best to add boiled asparagus to omelets or fried eggs with fried eggs. It goes well with these products.
Like any bean culture, green beans "love" a number of certain spices that will only emphasize the taste and aroma of the plant product.
All chefs know that green beans are not the owner of pronounced taste. The dishes from it are rather tender and, to some extent, neutral.
That is why culinary experts are not afraid to add coriander, black and allspice, garlic, onions (fried), hot bitter pepper, paprika, basil, caraway seeds, zira, cilantro and turmeric to the string beans. Most often, of course, black pepper, onion and garlic are used.
That's all the secrets of how to cook fresh and frozen green beans.
