Burgundy Blue Basil Beans
Burgundy Blue Basil Beans
1 1lb. fresh green beans
1/4 cup fresh purple basil, torn
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. minced shallot
1 tsp. stone ground mustard
1 tsp. raw honey
sea salt and pepper
Clean and trim the fresh beans, of course.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the beans for 3-5 minutes, until bright green.
Immediately remove from heat and rinse with ice-cold water or immerse in an ice bath to hamper any further cooking.
As the beans cool, combine the basil, berries, oil, vinegar, shallot, mustard, honey, and salt and pepper in a high-speed blender.
Puree until smooth.
Toss the vinaigrette and the beans together in a fancy-shcmany bowl for serving.
Maybe, just maybe even top with a little Maytag Blue.
