These vibrant green beans with ginger butter offer a refreshing twist on a classic vegetable side dish. By blanching the beans and then refreshing them in ice water, they maintain their bright colour and a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the ginger. The addition of fresh lemon zest at the end provides a citrusy lift that cuts through the richness of the butter.
This simple vegetarian dish is an elegant accompaniment to a Sunday roast, grilled fish or a festive main course. It is naturally gluten-free and can be easily adapted for vegan diets by substituting the butter with a light oil or plant-based alternative. Quick to prepare and full of zingy flavour, it is a versatile addition to your midweek meal rotation.

Ingredients for Green Beans with Ginger Butter
900g haricots verts or other green beans, trimmed
1 (3-inch-long) piece fresh ginger
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Finely grated zest from 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoons salt
How to make Green Beans with Ginger Butter
Cook beans in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, 5 to 9 minutes (depending on thickness). Drain beans in a colander and transfer to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain beans again and pat dry.
Peel ginger and halve crosswise, then thinly slice lengthwise and cut into very thin matchsticks.
Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook ginger, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes.
Add beans and cook, stirring, until just heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add zest and salt, tossing to combine.
