Haricot Vert (French Green Beans) With Browned Butter

Instead of the usual green beans for Thanksgiving, how about an amazingly simple brown butter version using #Finlandia.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1  1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
• 4 tablespoons Finlandia butter
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 1/3 cup French Fried Onions

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the green beans and cook 2 minutes
2. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking - to paper towelsto dry
3. Meanwhile, slowly melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often until it’s browned in color and nutty in flavor, 2 - 3 minutes
4. And as soon as it is, add the green beans, toss well to coat, season with salt & pepper and then plate – top with something crunchy, like crispy French Fried Onions.
