Indulge in the delightful combination of smashed green beans tossed in a tangy dressing, topped with crunchy and flavorful crispy shallots. Bon appétit!
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- ¼ cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- 2 tsp. fish sauce
- 1½ tsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 lb. green beans, trimmed
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp. neutral oil (such as sunflower or grapeseed)
- ½ cup coarsely crushed roasted salted peanuts
- ½ cup store-bought crispy fried shallots
Instructions:
- Combine lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, salt, fish sauce, sugar, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl by whisking them together. Save 2 tablespoons of the dressing in a separate small bowl for later use.
- In two separate batches, place the green beans in a big resealable plastic or silicone bag. Seal the bag and gently hit the beans with a rolling pin to split the skins and soften them without crushing them completely. Put the beans in the large bowl with the dressing. Add onion and mix well, using your hands to massage and coat the beans. Let it sit at room temperature for at least an hour or refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the beans from the bowl using your hands and place them on a platter, leaving excess liquid behind. Whisk oil and the reserved 2 tablespoons of dressing together, then pour it over the beans. Gently stir in the peanuts. Finish by topping with shallots.
