Ingredients

Vegetables

  • Fresh green beans, 1 lb (trimmed)

Sauce

  • Plant-based butter, 3 tbsp
  • Dijon mustard (natural), 1 tbsp
  • Garlic cloves (minced), 2 cloves
  • Lemon juice (natural), 1 tbsp
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp
  • Natural gelling agent (such as agar or pectin powder), 1/4 tsp
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Trim the ends of your fresh green beans and rinse them under cold water. Blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and lock in their vibrant color.
  2. Make the Mustard Butter Sauce: In a skillet, melt plant-based butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Stir in Dijon mustard (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice (natural), whisking to combine. Sprinkle in a small amount of natural gelling agent to give the sauce a silky finish, stirring continuously until smooth.
  3. Combine and Finish: Drain the green beans and add them to the skillet, tossing gently to coat every bean in the mustard butter sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm for another minute, then remove from heat. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose fresh green beans to ensure the best crunch and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the green beans; blanch just until tender-crisp to maintain texture and color.
  • Use fresh minced garlic rather than pre-minced for a stronger aroma.
  • Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard (natural) to increase tanginess if desired.
  • Add the natural gelling agent slowly to avoid a sauce that is too thick.
