Take your green bean recipe up a notch and add a finely chopped hard boiled egg garnish. This recipe uses purple wax beans but regular green beans will work too.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb purple wax beans (green beans work too)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 2 eggs, hard boiled

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt.
  • Trim off the tough ends on both sides of the bean (most of the time just the stem end needs trimmed).
  • Simmer the green beans for 3-7 minutes or until desired tenderness.  
  • Drain green beans, toss with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper and plate.
  • Separate the egg yolk from the white on the hard boiled eggs
  • Finely chop or push egg whites first and then yolks next through a Potato ricer or fine mesh sieve to get them nice and fluffy.  
  • Place the minced yolk in a line down the center of the plate of green beans.  Add the whites on both sides of the yolk.  Make it look pretty, y'all!
  • Serve hot or cold.  Add salt to taste. 

Notes

  • Don't want to get the knife and board out?  Cool - blanch the beans with the tough sides on and don't eat the stem end.
  • Can't find purple wax beans?  Cool - use fresh green beans instead.
