Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans
- 1 small shallot
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 red pepper
- 3 ounces goat cheese
Marinade
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp balsmic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Start by washing and trimming the beans by removing the tips and breaking them into large bite sized pieces. Since everything will be cooked on a grill pan, it’s important to keep the pieces large enough that they don’t fall through the holes in the pan.1 lb green beans
- Cut the red pepper lengthwise into bite-sized pieces, slice the shallot into long thin pieces, and thinly slice the garlic. Put the green beans, red pepper, shallots, and garlic into a large bowl.1 small shallot, 1/2 red pepper, 1 clove garlic
- In a small bowl mix the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, ground pepper, and smoked paprika together. Reserve 1 tbsp of the marinade.2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp balsmic vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground pepper, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Combine the marinade with the green beans, mixing thoroughly. Let everything sit together for at least 15 to 30 minutes for the flavors to come together.
- Coat a grill pan lightly with oil and place it on a medium grill. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes before adding the beans to the pan.
- Once the beans have been added to the pan, you’ll want to turn them occasionally using a pair of tongs to make sure they cook evenly.
- It usually takes 12 to 16 minutes to grill the beans. The dish is best when you get a little char on everything and the shallots get nice and crispy!
- When the beans have finished being grilled, remove them from the grill and toss them with the remaining marinade before transferring them to a serving dish.
- The goat cheese should be added to the beans in small chunks right before they’re served.3 ounces goat cheese
