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
- 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.
- 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.
- In a small bowl mix the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, ground pepper, and smoked paprika together. 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. Making sure to reserve the remaining marinade to toss with the beans when they come off the grill.
- 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 15 to 20 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.
